Instructions

1
|
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
3
|
Add in the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla, and mix until fully combined.
4
|
Add in the dry ingredients and mix until jut combined.
5
|
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
6
|
On a lightly floured surface, roll out cookie dough to ¼" thick. Rolling the dough out between two pieces of floured parchment paper also helps to prevent the dough from sticking.
7
|
Cut out 2-inch circles and freeze the cutout dough for about 10 minutes. Repeat until all of the dough is used.
8
|
While the cutout dough is chilling in the freezer, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
9
|
Place the cut out cookie dough on prepared baking sheets about an inch apart and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
10
|
In a small bowl, weigh out the chocolate. Set aside.
11
|
In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to just shy of a simmer. Pour over the chocolate and stir to combine.
12
|
If there are still pieces of chocolate, heat the ganache in the microwave in 10 second intervals until completely smooth.
13
|
Stir in peppermint extract, then place in the fridge until thick, but pipeable.
14
|
Heat the chocolate and oil over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20 second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
15
|
Crush the candy canes into small pieces and place in a bowl.
16
|
Transfer the ganache to a piping bag with a small round piping tip.
17
|
Pair the cookies up, pipe ganache on the bottom cookie, and press the paired cookie on top.
18
|
Chill the sandwiched cookies in the fridge for a few minutes so the filling will set.
19
|
Dip each sandwich cookie in the melted chocolate then top with crushed candy cane pieces.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chill Dough Between Steps ❄️
    Refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting to prevent spreading, ensuring crisp, defined edges and easier handling when sandwiching.
  • Temper Chocolate for Shine 🍫
    Properly temper your chocolate coating by melting it to 115°F, cooling to 82°F, then reheating to 90°F for a glossy finish and satisfying snap when dipped.
  • Crush Candy Canes at the Last Moment 🍬
    Pulse candy canes into coarse pieces just before use rather than ahead of time, as they quickly absorb moisture and become sticky when exposed to air.
  • Ganache Consistency Control ⏱️
    Let your chocolate-peppermint ganache cool to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before filling—it should be spreadable like frosting, not runny or stiff.
  • Use Peppermint Extract Strategically 🌿
    Add peppermint extract only to the ganache filling, not the cookie dough, to avoid overpowering the chocolate flavor and ensure the peppermint taste shines distinctly in each bite.
