Have you ever noticed there are not many cookie recipes on Call Me PMc?
I’m super picky about cookies and I have only been completely over-the-moon with one cookie recipe. It’s my super secret Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. It’s my fallback, get rich cookie recipe, so I haven’t been compelled to share it yet.
I’m saving it for a ‘rainy day’ or when we need to make the mortgage payment or pay for college. (Of course, I’m being sarcastic, but it is good great!)
But, guess what?!
I love this Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookie Recipe just as much.
And, I’m not keeping it a secret.
Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookies
What makes a good cookie?
- I like oversized cookies because then you can say, “I just had one cookie”. Really, you don’t have to reveal it was the size of a plate!
- They have to be soft in the center.
- And crispy on the edges.
- And preferably warm.
So without further adieu, I give you my Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookie Recipe
Using a large scoop, I had 26 cookies. If you make them small (regular size), you’ll have about 4 dozen. Use 2 cookie sheets. Allow the cookie sheet to cool off before placing the second batch of dough on them. Never place cookie dough on a hot sheet.

Chocolate Peppermint Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 and ¼ cup butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temp
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Andes peppermint crunch chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then beat again to combine.
- In another bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate this into the butter mixture.
- Use a wooden spoon or mixing spatula to stir in peppermint chips. The mixture will be THICK.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, set the oven to 350°F to let it preheat while the cookie dough chills.
- Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or regular-sized ice cream scoop, drop dough onto a cold greased cookie sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between the scoops. I used a regular-sized ice cream scoop for extra-large cookies.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 17 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the centers are still a little bit gooey.
- Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Then, use a thin spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack to cool them completely.

Fantastic recipe, super moist, flavorful, and delicious. I added some chocolate chip too
Paula I made these just yesterday and although they taste delicious they did not turn our soft at all? Any suggestions? I am located in Nevada so not sure if altitude had anything to do with my problem?
