Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Mint chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the cookies tough.
Step 6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Scoop the dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
