Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, melted chocolate, shortening, baking powder, peppermint extract, and a pinch of sea salt. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually 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

Step

Cover 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

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Remove 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

Step

Place the sugared dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have formed characteristic cracks. (9-11 minutes)

09

Step

Remove 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)

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.
