Yield Makes 32 (2 1/4- by 1/2-inch) bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c hard peppermint candies, coarsely crushed (candy canes will work)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place rack in middle position of oven. Line a 13-9 inch metal baking pan with 1 sheet of foil, allowing 2 inches of foil to hang over each end of pan. Butter foil, except for overhang.
  • 2. Whisk together flour, cocoa, soda and salt in a small bowl.
  • 3. Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg until combined.
  • 4. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and peppermint candy pieces.
  • 5. Spread dough evenly in pan and bake until puffed and beginning to pull away from sides of pan, about 20 minutes.
  • 6. Cool completely in pan, then, lifting with foil, transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars and lift off foil with spatula.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These chocolate peppermint bar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfect every time. So get baking and enjoy!
