Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies blend cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and mint baking chips in a dough rich with cold butter and sugar. The resulting cookies are tender with a chocolate base accented by refreshing mint pieces. Baking at a moderate temperature ensures chewy centers with slightly crisp edges, offering a balanced texture and cooling mint flavor with chocolate.

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.
