Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Mint extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Quick oats
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Let it boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Stir in the mint extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Add the quick oats and dark chocolate chips to the saucepan. Mix well until the oats and chocolate chips are fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon if desired.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator to set more quickly.
Optional: Garnish each cookie with a fresh mint leaf before serving for a decorative touch.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
