Description
Air Fryer Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies – easy, soft, and festive holiday cookies ready in minutes. Perfect for Christmas baking and gifting.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white melting chocolate
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup Crushed Candy Canes or Peppermint Candy
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together, add the egg yolks.
- Combine flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl. Add salt. Add the flour mixture slowly to the first bowl, using a mixer.
- Once the dough is thoroughly mixed and there are no lumps, knead the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 45 minutes and up to overnight.
- When ready to make cookies remove dough from the fridge. Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F, air fryer setting. Roll out the dough on a very lightly floured surface. Using a round, circular cookie cutter, cut out cookies.
- Line basket with parchment paper and place cookies in the basket, leaving a half-inch of space between each cookie—air fry cookies for about 7 minutes. Remove cookies from the air fryer and allow them to cool on the cookie rack.
- Once cookies are completely cool, melt white chocolate according to directions on the package, stir well, add peppermint extract, & stir again. Dip each cookie halfway into the white chocolate and then into the peppermint candy pieces and set on parchment paper to dry.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
