Preheat oven to 350˚F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside. Beat together butter and both sugars for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, chocolate dip, vanilla and peppermint extract and mix until smooth. Add in the dry ingredients in 2-3 batches, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Portion out the dough using a 2 tbsp cookie scoop. Roll into a ball, then flatten using your hands. Place half of a marshmallow in the center, then form the dough around the marshmallow. Don’t cover the marshmallow completely, you should be able to see a little bit of marshmallow at the top. Repeat with all dough and place the cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheets.Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying. Optional: sprinkle with crushed candy canes right after they come out of the oven. The cookies will set as they cool.
