Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 12 soft peppermint candies, crushed

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Grease or line baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt butter and 1 cup chocolate morsels in medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Transfer chocolate mixture into a large mixer bowl; add sugar and beat until combined. Add coffee granules, vanilla extract and peppermint extract; beat just until combined. Beat in eggs. Add flour and baking powder, mixing until all is incorporated. Fold in remaining 2 cups chocolate morsels. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart, using a medium size cookie scoop. Sprinkle each cookie with a little of the crushed peppermint candies. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are set. Allow to cool for about 2 minutes on baking sheet and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. (Makes 36 cookies)
