Gluten Free Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp. instant coffee granules
  • 2 c. plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose GF flour
  • 3/4 c. baking cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp. LorAnn Oils Peppermint Emulsion
  • 1 pkg. 10 oz. Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan melt butter with coffee granules over low heat until completely dissolved. Remove pan from heat and let cool to about room temperature. (Confession - I do this in a microwave safe batter bowl and save myself from having to wash a pot!)
  • While that is cooling, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  • Beat butter mixture, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the eggs. Gradually beat in the flour mixture 1/3 at a time, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in the Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips and semi-sweet chips.
  • Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto an ungreased or parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let rest on baking sheet for 1 minute then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
