Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chips
- 1 cup Miniature mint candies or mint 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 softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips and miniature mint candies or mint chips until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy these Mint Chocolate Delights with a glass of milk, hot chocolate, or as a sweet treat on their own!
