Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using). Beat until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
-
While the cookies are cooling, melt the chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
-
Spoon the melted chocolate into the indentations of the cookies. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
-
Allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
