Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Andes mint baking chips (or chopped Andes mints)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Andes mint baking chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy your Chocolate Mint Dream Cookies!
