For an extra intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate. Do not overbake the cookies, as they will become dry. The centers should still be slightly soft. Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin during baking and allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, melted chocolate, shortening, baking powder, peppermint extract, and a pinch of sea salt. (5 minutes)
02
StepUsing an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (3 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the flour to the mixture, beating on low speed until a soft dough forms. If necessary, stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This chilling period is crucial for the dough to firm up and develop its flavors. (2-24 hours)
05
StepPreheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup. (10 minutes)
06
StepRemove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. (15 minutes)
07
StepPlace the sugared dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have formed characteristic cracks. (9-11 minutes)
09
StepRemove the baking sheets from the oven and carefully transfer the cookies, still on the parchment paper, to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from sticking and allows them to retain their soft texture. (10 minutes)
