Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure mint extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams dark chocolate chips
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and pure mint extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies tender.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The centers should remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate glaze by placing the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate and cream together using a double boiler, or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and combined.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spoon or drizzle the chocolate glaze over the tops of the cookies. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate briefly for faster setting.
Serve and enjoy your Mint Cookies with Chocolate Glaze! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
