Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together ¾ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the reserved dry ingredients until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out 36 balls of dough, roll them into smooth balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
- Place dipped cookies on a wire rack or parchment paper to set in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to three days.

Notes
For best results, spoon and level flour completely. Refrigerate dough if too soft to handle. Use high-quality chocolate for flavor.
