White Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Cookies

In a large bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and whisk to combine.
170 grams unsalted butter, 160 grams light brown sugar, 160 grams granulated sugar
Add the egg, vanilla, & peppermint extract and whisk well until combined.
1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract, ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined but with a few streaks of flour remaining.
219 grams all purpose flour, 55 grams dark cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Fold in the chopped white chocolate until evenly incorporated throughout the dough and the flour is fully mixed in. Cover tightly & chill for at least 2 hours.
4 oz white chocolate
Once ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into ¼ cup sized balls (about 75 grams) and space them on the baking sheet 2-3 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are puffed up, then remove from the oven.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. Melt white chocolate in the microwave and drizzle on top of the cookies. Top with crushed candy canes if desired. Enjoy!
