Edible Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookie Dough
Ingredients
Instructions
In an electric mixer, whisk the softened butter and the brown and granulated sugars until smooth.
Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until completely combined.
#SpoonTip: Swap out the vanilla extract for peppermint extract if you want your cookie dough to be extra minty.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, and cocoa powder.
While mixer is on, slowly add flour mixture and continue until all is combined and smooth. The mixture should be a medium brown color and resemble cookie dough at this point.
Fold in chocolate and white chocolate chips and peppermint pieces with a spatula.
You can eat the dough right out of the bowl or let it harden in the fridge for a few minutes so you can roll it into small ball portions for serving.
If you’re feeling patient, you can pop the dough balls in the oven for 8-10 minutes and they bake into great cookies as well.
