Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies combine cocoa powder and mint chocolate chips in a rich cookie dough base made from butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. The final cookies have a tender, slightly soft texture with a balanced chocolate-mint flavor. The recipe’s baking timing ensures the cookies stay moist, avoiding dryness that cocoa powder can sometimes cause.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- one ounce mint chocolate chips package of
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. F.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, making sure that the cocoa isn't lumpy and is well mixed in.
- In your mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until it's light-colored and fluffy.
- Then add in your eggs, one at time, beating them in completely after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- Using the mixer on the lowest speed setting, slowly add in the dry mixture little by little, until it has all been added and mixed in thoroughly. Add in the whole bag of chocolate chips and mix until they are just evenly through the dough.
- Drop by rounded tablespoonful onto ungreased or parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake in the 350 °F oven for 9-10 minutes.
- Remember that the key to wonderful cookies is just under baking them by a minute or so and this is especially important with these cookies as the cocoa can dry things out. After a minute of so of cooling on the sheets, remove the cookies onto a rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Ensure cocoa powder is sifted well with dry ingredients to avoid lumps in the dough.
- Underbaking by about a minute helps keep cookies moist and prevents cocoa from drying them out.
- After cooling on the baking sheet for a minute, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely without becoming soggy.
- Nutritional values for the cookies may vary depending on specific ingredient brands or substitutions.
