MINTY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Minty Chocolate Chip Cookies image

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.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ⅔ cups mint chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs into butter mixture until well incorporated.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl; gradually add to creamed butter mixture, beating until dough is well blended. Fold chocolate chips into dough. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are set in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
