1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (about three minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and peppermint extracts.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined; fold in chocolate chips gently.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on sheets before transferring to wire racks.
