1 In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt
2 Over a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment combine eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and peppermint extract, and whisk on high speed for 4-5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Reduce speed and beat in chocolate mixture for 1 minute in medium speed
3 Add flour mixture and mix until combined. Do not over beat! Fold in chocolate chips, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour
4 Pre-heat oven to 350 F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop, form cookies and place them on prepared parchment paper 2.5 inches apart. Dough will be very sticky!
5 Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and if cookies are irregular, use a circular cookie cutter slightly bigger than your cookies and make a circular motion to swirl the cookies around inside the cookie cutter. This needs to be done when cookies are still warm! let cool for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
6 Using a piping bag, drizzle cookies with white chocolate and sprinkle with peppermint candy
