Peppermint Patty Chocolate Cookies
"The cookies are fudgy and full of rich chocolate flavor thanks to both cocoa powder and chocolate chips. There are peppermint patties on the top for a burst of minty fresh flavor. They're slightly chewy around the edges with super soft with tender, pillowy centers. Two tablespoons of cream (or half-and-half) in the dough makes the cookies creamy and moist but also makes for a very soft dough so it must be chilled before baking. Make sure not to overbake...."
