These fudgy cookies have a super chocolaty and extremely minty flavour without being overwhelming. Be sure the dough is well chilled before slicing the cookies to help them keep their round shape.

Ingredients

Peppermint Ganache:

Method

In large heatproof bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate with butter, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat. Beat in sugar; beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; stir into chocolate mixture. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Roll by rounded 1 tsp into balls; place, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheets.

Bake in 350ºF (180ºC) oven until firm to the touch and no longer shiny, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.)

Peppermint Ganache: In small saucepan, bring cream just to boil. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract; let cool to room temperature.

Spoon or pipe about 1 tsp of the ganache onto flat side of half of the cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing lightly to push ganache to edge. Refrigerate on baking sheets until ganache is set, about 10 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days. Let come to room temperature before serving.)
