- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 package (11-1/2 ounces milk chocolate chips)
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
- 1 cup finely crushed peppermint candies
Preheat oven to 375°. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and extract. Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake until tops are cracked, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Drop a teaspoonful of marshmallow creme into the center of each cookie. Dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle with candies. Place on waxed paper and let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
