Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams mini mint chocolate candies (e.g., Andes mints or similar)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, pure vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini mint chocolate candies using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them 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 are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these minty, chocolatey delights with a glass of cold milk or as a standalone treat!
