  These soft, fudgy peppermint chocolate cookies are loaded with
  pockets of chocolate and candy canes for an easy, festive holiday
  treat!
  
  Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C).
  
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  
  In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  Set aside.
  
  In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted vegan butter, light brown
  sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract and peppermint extract until well
  combined and creamy.
  
  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just
  combined.
  
  Fold in vegan chocolate chips and chopped chocolate evenly throughout
  the dough. Reserve 1 tb of each for the topping.
  
  Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes before shaping to help firm up
  slightly.
  
  Scoop dough (about 2 tb each) and roll into balls.
  
  Place them about 2" apart on the baking sheet.
  
  Top the cookie balls with reserved chocolate chips and chopped
  chocolate.
  
  Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Cookies should look set but still be soft
  in the middle.
  
  Remove from heat and immediately add crushed candy canes on top while
  the cookies are warm, if desired.
  
  Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully
  transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. They will still be
  soft while warm.
