Ingredients 

  • 1 ¾ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Andes Peppermint Crunch chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and line two cookie sheets with parchment or silpat liners.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift cocoa and add to flour mixture. (I like to use a fine-mesh strainer and sift the cocoa right over the bowl with the flour.) Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  • Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Mix in Peppermint Crunch chips and white chocolate chips.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, drop onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes. Cookies will still be soft in the middle. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For high altitude add 1 tablespoon flour, and decreased the baking soda to 1 ½ teaspoons.
