Chocolate Mint Cookies
Description
Chocolate Mint Cookies feature a butter and sugar base whipped until light, blended with egg and vanilla extract. Unsweetened cocoa powder and flour are folded in with baking soda and salt to form the dough. The addition of chopped Mint Truffle Hershey's Kisses adds a unique mixture of creamy, mint-infused chocolate pieces throughout the cookie. The dough is scooped onto parchment-lined sheets and baked at 350 degrees until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cooling briefly on the hot sheet before transferring helps the centers firm slightly.
The combination of cocoa and mint from the chopped candies delivers a balance of rich chocolate flavor and cool mint notes, while the texture is tender with soft middles and just-crisp edges. These cookies are suited for enjoying as a snack or dessert alongside coffee or tea.
