Fudgy Chocolate-Peppermint Cookies

• 6.75 ounces white whole-wheat flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa, sifted
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 ounces peppermint candy cane, lightly crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk.
3. Place sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined (about 3 minutes). Add vanilla and egg, beating until well combined. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Shape dough into 24 balls; place 2 inches apart on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass. Mound a generous 1/4 teaspoon crushed peppermint in center of each cookie. Bake at 350u0b0 for 7 minutes. Cool completely on pans.
4. Bake a Second Batch
5. No problems doubling--or even tripling--the dough for these cookies in a large bowl.
