Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully combined. Mix in the vanilla and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  • Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
