Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
You guys, these are delish! Great crust, cake-like centers, not too sweet and the perfect amount of mint. It’s about to get chilly here in DFW, and that makes me want to bake!
ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 package Nestle Winter Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels
(see Extras below if you can't find them)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°
Whisk or sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla together until creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in flour until all is incorporated.
Stir in chocolate mint chips.
Using medium size cookie scoop or 2 spoons, drop in rounded balls onto a prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until cookies are puffed and set in the center.
Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!

If you'd prefer a less chocolatey cookie, leave out the Cocoa Powder and add in 1/2 cup more flour.
