-1 cup vegan chocolate chips
-1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling
-2 tablespoons chopped peppermint candies (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baking sheet with butter or margarine.
- Cream the butter, 2 cups sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, slowly whisk the cocoa powder and baking soda. Add to the butter mixture and stir until well combined.
- Gradually add in the flour while stirring until a thick cookie dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the granulated sugar into a shallow bowl. Use a spoon or your hands to form the dough into small balls, rolling them in the sugar until well-coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet and press down gently to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are cracked on top and lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious chocolate peppermint cookies!
