These dense chocolate mint cookies are studded with semi sweet choco chips. A must try for chocolate mint lovers out there. For me there is nothing better than chocolate and mint, so I don't make these often because I can't stay out of them (the dough is the best part)
Melt 1 cup semi sweet choco chips is microwave (about 1 1/2 minutes) set aside.
Cream together
1/2 cups butter softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
blend well
add
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
2 eggs
with mixer on high blend for about 2 minutes.
Add
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
mix until incorporated add
melted chocolate by spoonfuls with mixer running mix until well blended
Add 1 3/4 cups flour
Add 1 cup Semi sweet choco chips
You can add chopped pecans or walnuts but I prefer these with just chocolate and mint.
Scoop into 1" balls and drop on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 to 12 minutes until sides are set and they no longer look wet in the center. Let stand a few minutes before removing from the pan. This dough can also be frozen uncooked for about a month
Enjoy
