  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. In another large bowl, combine softened butter with sugar until fluffy.
  • Add in egg and peppermint extract, and mix until smooth. Add in the flour mixture, and mix until a thick dough forms.
