Here’s a fun holiday cookie recipe, double chocolate peppermint cookies! I love baking these. Super easy to make, and the candy cane adds a nice crunch and texture to these cookies. I made these for the first time last year and gave them away to friends and neighbors. I wish I could do the same, but 2020 has its own plans. Nonetheless, these cookies are still super yummy and have a fun holiday twist to them!

A fun and festive cookie recipe. Make sure to use a food scale to measure the ingredients for the best outcome.

¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
⅓ cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C)
Cream the butter and sugar together for 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until fluffy and incorporated.
