Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (113 g) unsalted butter, (melted and cooled)
  • 1 1/4 cups (275 g) light brown sugar, (packed)
  • 2/3 cup (158 ml) California Olive Ranch Mild & Buttery Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup (48 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk, (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (204 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (204 g) bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup (180 g/6.4 oz) dark chocolate, (coarsely chopped)
  • ½ cup (90 g/3.2 oz) semi-sweet chocolate, (coarsely chopped)
  • ½ cup (90 g/3.2 oz) white chocolate, (coarsely chopped)
  • 3/4 cup (115 g/4 oz) peppermint candy, (crushed)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Oil a 10-inch (25-cm) cast-iron skillet and make sure you have a rack in the top third of the oven, at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the heat source.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, oil, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, milk and vanilla and mix until blended. Set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Add this to the butter mixture, stirring until barely combined and you still see streaks of flour. Add in the chopped chocolate and peppermint candy (*reserving* several tablespoons of chocolate and candy to sprinkle over the top) and stir until combined and everything is evenly distributed throughout. Add the dough to the skillet, patting it down to smooth any bumps and lumps. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate and candy over the top.
  • Bake for 22 minutes in the top third of the oven. Wait at least 45 minutes to serve, and I strongly urge you to serve with vanilla ice cream.

    I love baking cookies with my daughter. Some years I’ve made 22 different type of cookies. Going to try this recipe as the frosting sounds delicious.

    This sounds so warm and cozy for cold nights! My dad makes these butter-powdered sugar colored dough confections that are super addicting and only brought out for Christmas. I anxiously wait for them all year

    I love this book! Would be wonderful to give as a gift. I often think I’ll try new things for the holidays but fall back on family faves like butter walnut crescent cookies, ginger molasses spice, and cranberry nut loaves. But for a party this week I’m serving early grey chocolate pôt de crèmes!

    My Christmas morning tradition is a baked caramel french toast that we make with brioche, and prep the night before… My girls ask for it wherever we are, so I find the ingredients wherever we are!

    I just learned to make German Butter Spekulatius Cookies from a German baker! Loved them! They arethinner and crispier than Belgian Speculaas and have a more delicate spice profile.
