Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie pans with parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat, and set aside.
Combine the chocolate chips with the butter inside a glass, or heat safe, bowl. Microwave for roughly 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate has melted. Set aside to slightly cool.
Whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and peppermint extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a mixing bowl using a hand mixer, for about 2 minutes, or until fully combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl then slowly mix in the melted chocolate until incorporated into the wet ingredients.
In a small bowl, or measuring cup, whisk together the cocoa powder, regular table salt, baking powder, and flour. Fold into the batter.
Drop spoonfuls onto the lined baking trays, sprinkle with finishing salt, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Or until the edges slightly curl and the tops have cracks.
