MINTY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

These taste like a hybrid of a chocolate chip cookie and a Girl Scouts Thin Mint®. I like to make these the week leading up to Christmas as a change from traditional holiday cookies.

One of my daughters favorite cookies. I would have preferred to add nuts, but she wanted them with just the chips...great either way. Enjoy! My photos

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c butter, softened
2/3 c packed, brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
3 c ap flour
1 - 10 oz bag nestle winter dark chocolate and mint morsels
1/2 c white chocolate chips ( optional )

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixer bowl ( I used my kitchen aid with paddle attachment.), beat butter for about 30 seconds. Add the sugars, baking soda and salt. Beat until well combined.
  • 2. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  • 3. Now, beat in the 3 cups of flour. You may have to beat the last cup in my hand. This is a stiff dough. My mixer handled it, but a regular mixer may not.
  • 4. Now, by hand, stir in your chips.
  • 5. Using a rounded tablespoon of dough; carefully roll into balls. Place about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. ( I made mine a golfball size.) Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. Check sooner, as all ovens cook differently. Mine took exactly 15 minutes.
  • 6. Cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet before removing to finish cooking in a wire rack. Note: I take my cookies out, while they still look like they have a bit of doughiness to them in the center. They always seem to turn out wonderfully chewy. That's just how we like them.
  • 7. Enjoy!
