Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup unsalted butter, softened, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup white granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, about 1 cup store bought peppermint bark pieces
Method
Preheat the oven to 177 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl and set aside.
Make the cookie dough: Beat the butter and sugars together for about 2 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed, until completely mixed and light in color.
Add the egg and the vanilla extract until well mixed, about a minute. Be sure to scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl halfway through.
With the mixer on medium speed, add the sifted flour mixture to the bowl slowly. Stop once all of the flour is incorporated (do not over-mix). Fold in the peppermint bark chips using a stiff spatula.
Scoop out the dough: Take small spoonful of the dough and roll between your hands to make 1-inch sized balls. Arrange on the baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart.
Bake the cookies: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
