Chocolate Peppermint Sugar Cookie Recipe

Описание: Chocolate Peppermint Sugar Cookie Recipe

A classic Christmas flavor is peppermint, and one of the best treats to add that flavor is cookies! These chocolate peppermint cookies have the perfect balance of chocolate and peppermint and are sweetened by decorating with icing and sprinkles!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa powder
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar, add egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix with your hands until well combined.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Add more flour if needed to keep the dough from sticking. Cut into shapes. Place the cookies on baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are just barely golden brown on the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before decorating.

Enjoy!
