Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Chocolate chips
• 1 cup Miniature mint candies or mint chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips and miniature mint candies or mint chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy these Mint Chocolate Delights with a glass of milk, hot chocolate, or as a sweet treat on their own!
