Peppermint Mocha Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peppermint Mocha Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line four baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Step 3

   In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until everything is well combined.

5. Step 5

   Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and dip the tops into the crushed peppermint candy canes. Place the cookies, candy-side up, on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

6. Step 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the cookies are firm. Once baked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
