INGREDIENTS

– Heavy Cream – Peppermint Mocha Kahlua – All-purpose Flour – Cocoa Powder – Espresso Powder – Baking Powder Full ingredients

The cookies themselves are perfectly rich and chewy, which is pretty much a requirement in my mind, and the ganache is silky and luscious with that little bite of Kahlua and a peppermint zing. Get Recipe

Place chocolate in a large, heat-safe bowl. Microwave cream for about 1 minute, until just beginning to boil.
