Vegan Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies

Peppermint and chocolate is one of my absolute favorite holiday combos! If you feel the same you have to try these vegan cookies out! They are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside and taste just like an “After Eight”.
If you can’t find peppermint extract a food save peppermint essential oil works as well (i used approx. 20 drops in this recipe)
I hope you will enjoy this little treat and share it with your family and friends!

Yields15 Servings
WET INGREDIENTS
 1 cup Vegan Butter or Margerine
 ¾ cup White Sugar
 ¾ cup Light Brown Sugar
 1 Espresso Shot (about 50 ml)
 2 tsp Peppermint Extract
DRY INGREDIENTS
 3 cups Flour
 ½ cup Kakao Powder
 ¼ tsp Weinstein Baking Powder (regular baking powder will do too)
 1 pinch salt
ADD INS
 10 Peppermints
 ½ cup Chocolate Chips
Directions
1

Make an Espresso Shot and let it cool down. Then add Peppermint Extract to it.
In a Mixing Bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients

2

Add vegan butter, white sugar, brown sugar and salt to a separate bowl and whisk it with an electric mixer until the vegan butter is fluffy and light.
Pour the COLD espresso-mint shot into the vegan butter and sugar mixture and mix again until everything is smooth and combined.

3

Now gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and mix until you get a crumbly texture.
Add the chocolate chips and peppermint chunks and knead the crumbles into a dough
Let the dough sit for at least 15 minutes in the fridge.

4

Once the dough is chilled, knead it again and form into 15 Balls.
Place them on a baking tray and press them down so they flatten out a little bit.

5

Bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (180°C) for 10 Minutes. They will still be soft while they are warm so give them a little bit of time to cool down and then enjoy!
