- 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)
