Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 c. Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips

3/4 c. dark brown sugar, loosely packed

1/3 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. kosher salt

210g (1 3/4 c.) all-purpose flour

1 bag (8 oz.) Ghirardelli peppermint bark mix-ins

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment and set aside.

2. Place butter and bittersweet chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 15-30 sec (depending on your microwave, be careful!), stirring after each increment, until melted/smooth.

3. Stir in the brown sugar and sugar until fully combined.

4. Stir in the eggs, one at a time.

5. Stir in the baking soda and kosher salt.

6. Stir in the flour.

7. Stir in the peppermint bark mix-ins.

8. Form rounded Tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls at least 2" apart.

9. Bake for 9-11 min, or until edges are firm and center is still slightly soft. After removing from oven, let cookies rest on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Enjoy!
