Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter (cooled for a few minutes) and sugars. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix with a spatula until combined. Cover the dough and chill for 2 hours (or up to overnight).
Once chilled, let the dough sit out for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325° F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough and shape into balls sized 1 and 1/2 tablespoons, but make them a little bit taller than the width. Place about 6 to a baking sheet.
Bake for 12-13 minutes. The top of the cookies will start to form some cracks.
Once removed, press a York Peppermint Pattie on top each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
