Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mint chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth and creamy dough. This helps achieve that light and fluffy texture that makes cookies irresistible.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: For an extra chewy texture, consider chilling the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking. This also helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should look slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven, as they will continue to firm up while cooling.
- Storage: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to 5 days, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
