Dessert: Fudgy Chocolate-Peppermint Cookies

Recipe by Deb Wise When a soft, fudgy cookie meets crunchy candy cane shards, it's a match made in heaven.

Ingredients

6.75 ounces white whole-wheat flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 ounces peppermint candy cane, lightly crushed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °.
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Place sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined (about 3 minutes). Add vanilla and egg, beating until well combined. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Shape dough into 24 balls; place 2 inches apart on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass. Mound a generous 1/4 teaspoon crushed peppermint in center of each cookie. Bake at 350 ° for 7 minutes. Cool completely on pans.
