Chocolate Mint Brownie Cookies image

I LOVE these minty cookies! They are soooo good, are deliciously moist and melt in your mouth. The recipe is originally from Toll House's "Best Loved Cookies" recipe book. **NOTE**: It is easy to make regular chocolate chips minty (if you have trouble finding mint-morsels) by placing them in a jar and taping a mint-extract soaked cottonball to the lid. After sealing and waiting a day or two, chips will absorb the scent and taste minty. OR just use chocolate chips and add about 1/4 tsp (or more depeding on how much you like mint!) mint extract to the dough along with the vanilla.
