Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Step 1) Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl until well blended; set aside.
  2. Step 2) Beat sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer for 1 minute or until well mixed. Add flour mixture at medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until well blended.
  3. Step 3) Divide dough in half. Form each half of dough into an 8-inch log; wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 2 hours or up to 1 month.
  4. Step 4) Preheat oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice frozen dough into 1/4-inch slices on a cutting board; reshape into circular shape, if desired. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until cookies are set and bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies for 1 to 2 minutes on baking sheet; transfer to cooling rack.
  5. Step 5) Microwave chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds on HIGH (100% power). Continue to heat and stir in 10 second intervals until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Spoon a scant teaspoon of chocolate onto each cookie and sprinkle with peppermint candy. Let cool for 3 to 4 hours until chocolate has set or briefly chill cookies to set the chocolate.
  6. Step 6) Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
