Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, melted chocolate, shortening, baking powder, and peppermint extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time until it is manageable. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This step is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin. (2-24 hours)

05

Step

Once chilled, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

06

Step

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Generously roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Place the coated 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 beautiful crinkles. (9-11 minutes)

09

Step

Transfer the cookies, still on the parchment paper, to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps to prevent sticking and ensures even cooling. (15 minutes)

For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate.
Do not skip the chilling step! This is essential for the cookies to develop their signature crinkle texture.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
