Chocolate Mint Cookies
These soft and fudgy chocolate mint cookies are a wonderful treat!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (170 grams), at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar (300 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (60 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate (170 grams), chopped (see Notes)
- 1 cup mint baking chips (200 grams), see Notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium high speed until light and creamy, about 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the mixer and mix until just combined.
- Add the chocolate chips, if using.
- Scoop by the rounded tablespoon onto the prepared sheet pan and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until edges are crisp, about 8-9 minutes. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
NOTES:
- You can also use chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.
- These are the mint baking chips I like to use.
