Ingredients

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract (or peppermint extract)
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa (I use Hersheys Special Dark Cocoa)
• 6 oz chocolate (I used chocolate candiquick)
• Peppermint Baking Chips

Directions

• 1. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
• 2. Add vanilla and mix until smooth.
• 3. Add flour and cocoa and mix until combined. Dough will be very thick.
• 4. Place dough on parchment paper and shape into a log.
• 5. Roll dough up into parchment paper and refrigerate for about an hour.
• 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a non stick baking mat.
• 7. Slice dough into about 24 cookies that are about 1/4 inch thick.
• 8. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes.
• 9. Allow cookies to cool completely on a cooling rack.
• 10. Melt chocolate in a bowl.
• 11. Pour chocolate into a piping bag with a small round tip (or into a ziplock bag with a corner cut off) and drizzle chocolate over cookies. Sprinkle peppermint baking chips onto chocolate as you go - chocolate dries quickly.
