Mint Chip Tip
If peppermint baking chips are unavailable in your area, finely crush 4–6 medium sized candy canes instead.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Line baking sheets with parchment.
Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
Beat together butter and shortening with a hand mixer on medium speed until blended.
Add granulated and brown sugars; beat until light and fluffy, 4–5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each. Beat in extract.
Beat in flour mixture on low speed until combined. Dough will be chunky.
Stir in chocolate and 1 cup baking chips. Dough will be sticky. Scoop dough with a #40 scoop (1½ Tbsp.) onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake cookies until just set (they will appear slightly underdone), 8–9 minutes.
Cool cookies on baking sheets, 5–8 minutes, before topping with remaining ½ cup baking chips (1 tsp. per cookie), pressing lightly to adhere. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
