I went Christmas crazy today! I had the day off and was super bummed about how the election turned out last night and I needed to do something fun. So I spent the whole day getting out Christmas and decorating! It's like Mrs. Claus's house up in here yo.
After all the decorating I just wanted to bake. At Wal-Mart I had bought a bag of Andes Mint Peppermint Baking Chips and thought it would fun to make a chocolate chip cookie with those thrown in. They turned out so yummy! A very fun Christmas cookie to gift. Keep in mind that this basic chocolate chip cookie dough recipe I used is for bakery sized cookies. So they are huge! Merry Christmas ya'll!
2 c. flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
3/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 t. vanilla
1 c. milk chocolate chips3/4 c. Andes Mint Peppermint Baking Chips
Melted milk chocolate chips
Andes Mint Peppermint Baking Chips for garnish
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix flour, baking soda and salt together. Set aside. In a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars until light and mixed well. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients a little at a time. Mix in chocolate chips and peppermint chips. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using an extra, extra large cookie scoop or a 1/4 measuring cup line up your cookie dough on the cookie sheets. Make sure there's only 4 cookies per cookie sheet. These will be large. Bake each sheet one at a time for 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Drizzle melted milk chocolate chips on top of cookies and put a few pieces of Andes Mint Peppermint Baking Chips on top. Repeat process on remaining batches. Enjoy with milk or hot cocoa!
