Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.

  2. 2

    Beat butter and both sugars until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Whisk flour, cocoa, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix into the butter mixture just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and half the crushed peppermint.

  4. 4

    Scoop 1 1/2-tablespoon balls onto sheets, 2 inches apart. Sprinkle remaining peppermint on top, pressing lightly. Bake 9–11 minutes until edges look set and centers still look soft. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
