Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and roll each half out between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Re-roll the scraps as needed.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the cookies are cool, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Step 10

Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the dipped cookies on a sheet of parchment paper to set.

Step 11

Let the chocolate harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
