Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Pure peppermint extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Mint chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Slowly mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the mint chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the dough.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat it generously.

Step 9

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the cookies once cooled or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
