Based on the Copycat Levain bakery thick fat cookies this Christmas cookie is made with a chocolate cookie base, chocolate chips, white chocolate peppermint chips AND crushed candy cane for crunch!

How I created this Christmas Cookie Recipe

I adore my Levain bakery copycat Chocolate Chip pecan cookie recipe and have been baking them weekly recently. But for the Holidays I wanted to make a more Christmas-y version.

For our Church Christmas party last weekend I decided to go for a Chocolate version of the cookies filled with peppermint chunks! I used Andes peppermint crunch baking chips and Ghirardelli peppermint baking chips and they were delicious.

For this final version I decided I wanted a bit more chocolate flavor and some crunch. SO in the final cookies so I added some semi sweet chocolate chunks and some crushed candy canes!

Just take me to the Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Recipe already!

Tips to Make the Perfect Big Fat cookie

  • By making these cookies so large (3.10 – 3.15 oz each) the outside will be crunchy and the inside will be slightly doughy still – if you want them baked all the way through make the cookies smaller
  • I like to use Trader Joes chocolate chips because they melt so beautifully and stay melted longer vs going hard again right away.
  • You want to let these cookies set before eating, not just cool – kinda like how you let a cheesecake set before enjoying – the center will continue to cook as they set and cool completely – I like them best after about an hour, but some like them best after just 15 mins when they are still a little warm and raw-ish
  • You can make your own cake flour if you haven’t been able to find any (or if you just want to save money – I have a recipe for cake flour here
  • Make sure to use a kitchen scale, not just a large cookie scoop – and don’t roll the balls, break them in half and leave them rough to get more texture in the final cookie

To make these Chocolate Peppermint Christmas Cookies I used:

  • A good mixer – this is a thick dough! – I use my bosch with dough hooks
  • Trader Joe’s chocolate chunks (for that nice melted chocolate chunks)
  • Andes peppermint crunch baking chips
  • Ghirardelli peppermint baking chunks
  • Crushed candy canes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla

  • 2/3 cups dark cocoa

  • 1 cup andes peppermint crunch baking chips
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  • preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • beat the butter until creamy (I start with whisks to get it super creamy)
  • add the sugars and beat until light and fluffy
  • add the eggs and vanilla and beat until just incorporated
  • add the cake flour and cocoa and beat together
  • switch to the dough hook – it get's thick. Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, beat until totally incorporated
  • add the chocolate chunks, peppermint chunks and crushed candy canes and pulse until mixed together, if you mixer struggles then fold together by hand
  • scoop out 3 – 3.1 oz of dough at a time, Keep the dough balls rough
  • Bake for 9 mins, the cookie edges will become golden (for subsequent batches if you bake on the warm pan cook for less time.
  • let cool at least 15 mins – Closer to an hour and the center will be set

Notes

the outside of the cookies will be crunchy and the inside will be more doughy – if you want them baked completely all the way through make smaller cookie balls
