Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine half a cup of semi-sweet baking chocolate with a stick of diced unsalted butter and melt in 30-second increments.
- Sift together 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.33 cup of Dutch-process cocoa powder in a large bowl.
- In a stand mixer, beat together 2 large eggs with 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of peppermint extract until well combined.
- Slow the mixer and gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture until thoroughly blended.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, and fold in 1 cup of chocolate chunks.
- Wrap the cookie dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls, placing them on the lined baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for approximately 9 minutes or until slightly undercooked in the center.
- Press half of a large marshmallow onto each cookie and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly, then drizzle melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.
