Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 56 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams Andes mint candies or chocolate mint pieces
- 30 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Melt in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the peppermint extract and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Gently fold in the chopped Andes mint candies or chocolate mint pieces.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
