Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate chip cookie mix and baking cocoa.
Add in the salted butter, milk, egg, and peppermint extract and stir until fully combined.
Use a 2-inch cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough and roll into balls.
Place on the sheet pan and then bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges start to crack and harden.
Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the tops of the cookies with finely crushed candy canes.
Allow cookies to cool slightly and serve warm. You can also let them cool to room temperature and serve later.
