- In your mixer, cream together the butter, margarine and the sugars.Mix in the egg, the vanilla and the peppermint flavorings.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, soda and salt.Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time. When it is all mixed together, add the chocolate chips.
- You can chill the dough at this point for several hours or days. I have baked them right away and they work fine as well.When you are ready to bake the cookies, Turn the oven to 350 degrees.Use a rounded tablespoon for each cookie. Place on parchment paper 2 inches apart and bake for 14 to 16 minutes.
Notes
You can bake these cookies right away, or chill the dough and bake later.
I have also made these cookies with almond flavoring instead of peppermint--so good!
