Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 TBSP butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 tsp peppermint extract
white chocolate bark or chips
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325F.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt together.
In another bowl, beat together sugar and butter for one minute.
Add in eggs and mix well. Beat in 3/4 tsp extract.
Fold in flour mixture until well incorporated.
Using a 1-inch ice scream scoop (I only use mine for cookies) or about 1 1/2 TBSP of batter...scoop cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Lightly dust your fingers with flour and press down each cookie until it is about 1/4 thick.
The original recipe has a bit more steps than that so check it out if you want to follow it exactly.
Place cookie sheet into freezer and chill for about 8 minutes or until cookies are firm. Transfer directly to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes.
Bake until cookies are dry to the touch.
Cool completely before adding chocolate coating.
*Original cookies were completely dipped, but I didn't have enough to do that with.

Melt white chocolate in a bowl in the microwave being careful not to over heat.
Use about 10 second intervals.
Stir in 1/2 tsp extract.
Spoon over each cookie.
Drizzle melted semi-sweet over the top. Place in fridge and let set for about 30 minutes. I promise they are worth the wait!!!

*Even with the double batch and making the cookies smaller, I only got about 2 1/2 dozen when the original recipe said I would get 6 dozen out of it. Weird! Try them out and let me know what you think!
