Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract; mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Press chocolate candies into the center immediately after removing from the oven.
Allow cookies to cool on wire racks before serving.
