Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup mint chips
  • ¼ cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

2

Beat the butter on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the white and brown sugars and beat on medium-high speed for 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl and beaters.

3

Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed for 1 minute until fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beaters, then add the flour mixture and beat at low speed just until combined.

4

Add the milk and beat at high speed until incorporated, about 20 seconds. On the lowest setting, stir in the mint and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5

Cover and chill while the oven preheats, or up to 3 days.

6

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

7

Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of dough for each cookie and shape each one into a tall tower (not a flat or round ball).

8

Bake until the edges are crisp, but the centers still appear soft, about 11 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
