Ingredients

1½ cups 206 grams chocolate/mint candies
2 cups 266 grams all purpose flour
⅔ cup 70 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon 4 grams baking powder
½ teaspoon 5 grams salt
1 cup 2 sticks or 226g unsalted butter, softened
1 cup 215 grams sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F or 165°C.
Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Chop the chocolate/mint candies into small pieces and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Place the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl.
Beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping the bowl down as needed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla and milk.
Blend in the dry ingredients.
Stir in the chopped candy.
Use a large ice cream scoop (¼ cup) to scoop the dough onto the prepared pans, 6 cookies on two of the baking sheets and 2 cookies on the third.
Bake in your preheated oven for 18 minutes, rotating the pans top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Remove from the oven and cool, if you have the willpower to wait that long.
