Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and Dutch-process cocoa powder.
- In a stand mixer, beat together large eggs, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until light and frothy.
- Add the slightly cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
- Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 9 minutes.
- Top each cookie with half of a large marshmallow and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack, then drizzle with chocolate and sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top.

Notes
Ensure the dough is chilled to avoid spreading while baking. Slightly under-baking helps achieve a chewy texture.
