• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions:

Grease a donut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius

Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl

The brewed coffee, egg, vegetable oil, and peppermint extract should all be combined in a separate bowl

Mixing until just combined, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients

Add the chocolate chips and fold

Pour the batter into each donut hole, about two thirds full, using a spoon

A toothpick inserted into a donut should come out clean after baking for 12 to 15 minutes

Make the glaze while the donuts are baking

Blend powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and peppermint extract until a smooth consistency is achieved

When done, take the donuts out of the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling

After the donuts cool fully, dip each one into the glaze, letting the excess fall off

If desired, add crushed candy canes to the top

Before serving, let the glaze settle for a few minutes
