These Dipped Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are a delightful holiday treat, perfect for festive gatherings and cookie exchanges. The combination of rich chocolate, refreshing peppermint, and creamy white chocolate makes them irresistibly delicious!

Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup packed light brown sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1 cup crushed peppermint candies. 1 cup white chocolate chips. 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening.

Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. Put parchment paper on baking sheets. Mix the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is creamy and well mixed. One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. All-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt should all be mixed together in a different bowl using a whisk. Slowly add this dry mix to the wet ones, mixing just until everything is combined. The semisweet chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies should be carefully mixed in. Drop dough about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets that have been prepared using a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoons. Put it in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers might still look a little soft. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to wire racks to cool all the way. In a bowl that can go in the microwave, melt the shortening and white chocolate chips in 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst until the mixture is smooth. If you want the cookies to set, dip them half way into the melted white chocolate and set them on parchment paper. For extra flair, add some more crushed peppermint candies on top of the melted chocolate. Let the chocolate set all the way before you serve it or put it away in a container that won't let air in.
