Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
Description
This recipe begins by creaming cold butter cubes with sugar until fluffy, then incorporating eggs and vanilla. Dry ingredients including cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt are stirred in, followed by semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint-flavored baking chips. The dough is portioned into large spoonfuls and baked at 360°F (about 182°C) for 10 to 14 minutes. Baking time affects the chewiness and crispness of the edges.
The use of high-quality cocoa powder like Callebaut contributes deep chocolate flavor without bitterness. Mint chips provide a distinct cooling contrast to the rich chocolate cookie base. The texture is soft yet holds shape well, suitable for snack times or dessert.
This cookie captures the classic combination of chocolate and mint with balanced sweetness and tender crumb. It can be enjoyed fresh or stored for later snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter, cold cut into small cubes
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder high quality
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 1/2 cups mint baking chips Guittard brand or Andes brand
- **Notes: I use Callebaut cocoa powder. It is high quality but it can be found for an incredibly low price at a Winco grocery store in their bulk bins. It's 4 times as much on Amazon. Trader Joe's has a nice cocoa powder as well.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream cold butter cubes and sugar for at least 4 minutes, scraping the bowl halfway through mixing.

- Drop large spoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.
