Step 1- Dry Ingredients.
In a large bowl, add in the flour, cocoa powder baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine.

Use plastic wrap to cover the bowl of cookie dough, and set it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Put a peppermint patty in the middle of the dough, and use your fingers to wrap the dough around the Peppermint Patty ( be sure that the dough is fully wrapped and sealed around the Peppermint Patty). Place the cookie sheets into the oven for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Let the cookies cool on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
