Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter with the sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Scrape sides of bowl as necessary. Add vanilla and peppermint extracts. On low speed, mix in the flour mixture a little at a time. Gently mix in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.

Place teaspoons of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Cool for one minute on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle glaze over the top of the cooled cookies. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes while glaze is still wet. Let cookies stand for 10-20 minutes until set.

Note: to make the glaze, simply mix the powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and milk or half-and-half until smooth and the consistency desired.
