- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and peppermint extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

- Prepare the chocolate coating by melting the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave.
- Dip each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Refrigerate the cookies for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
