1/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
16-ounce package white candy coating
1/4 cup peppermint candy, coarsely crushed
Directions
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lining baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, butter, sour cream, egg, peppermint extract and melted chocolate on medium speed for 1 minute or until blended. Stir in the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons about 2-inches apart onto the baking sheets. Flatten to 2-inch rounds with the bottom of glass dipped in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the tops are dry and the cookies are set. Let stand on the baking sheet for 1 minute and then remove to a wire rack. Cool completely (about 30 minutes).

Place on a clean baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy. Refrigerate about 15 minutes to allow the coating to harden.
