Mint Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Mint Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are crafted from a blend of coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter, almond flour, and cacao powder, enhanced with peppermint extract and accented by chocolate chips. The dough is notably thick and sticky, which necessitates forming the cookies by hand rather than relying on spreading during baking. Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 13 to 15 minutes, the cookies develop a firm exterior while maintaining a moist and rich center.
The flavor profile is marked by the smoothness of almond butter and the bitterness of cacao balanced by a pronounced mint flavor from the peppermint extract. The chocolate chips add bursts of sweetness and texture contrast. Because the dough is oily prior to baking, the finished cookies have a restrained greasiness that fades into a satisfying richness.
These cookies are great as a unique dessert or snack when you want a cold mint twist on classic chocolate chip cookies. They pair well with milk or a simple hot beverage, making them suitable for casual gatherings or personal indulgence. Their distinct mint flavor makes them especially fitting for colder seasons or after-dinner treats.
The recipe notes recommend using certified allergen-free chocolate chips and homemade almond butter for best results. A sturdy baking tray and a cookie scoop facilitate handling the thick dough, which also benefits from gentle flattening by hand before baking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil liquid at room temperature
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp peppermint extract
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter, egg and peppermint flavoring to a bowl. Use a hand mixer to cream the ingredients together.
- Add the almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda and salt to the creamed ingredients and blend together again with the hand mixer. The dough will be VERY thick and hard to mix. That's okay, you just need it combined.
- Then add the chocolate chips and use your hands to mix everything together. It's easiest with your hands as the dough is so thick.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop to drop mounds of the dough onto the baking tray. Then flatten the cookies with your hands into flat, cookie-like shapes. These cookies will not flatten much with cooking, so mold them into the shape you'd like. At this stage, the dough will also seem overly oily, but that will disappear with cooking.
- Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking tray before moving.
Notes
- Use certified allergen-free chocolate chips for dietary adherence.
- Homemade almond butter can improve flavor and texture in this recipe.
- A heavy-duty baking tray helps prevent warping during baking.
- Using a cookie scoop and hand-flattening the dough improves cookie shape and thickness.
