These taste like a hybrid of a chocolate chip cookie and a Girl Scouts Thin Mint®. I like to make these the week leading up to Christmas as a change from traditional holiday cookies.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c butter, softened
2/3 c packed, brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
3 c ap flour
1 - 10 oz bag nestle winter dark chocolate and mint morsels
1/2 c white chocolate chips ( optional )

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixer bowl ( I used my kitchen aid with paddle attachment.), beat butter for about 30 seconds. Add the sugars, baking soda and salt. Beat until well combined.
  • 2. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  • 3. Now, beat in the 3 cups of flour. You may have to beat the last cup in my hand. This is a stiff dough. My mixer handled it, but a regular mixer may not.
  • 4. Now, by hand, stir in your chips.
  • 5. Using a rounded tablespoon of dough; carefully roll into balls. Place about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. ( I made mine a golfball size.) Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. Check sooner, as all ovens cook differently. Mine took exactly 15 minutes.
  • 6. Cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet before removing to finish cooking in a wire rack. Note: I take my cookies out, while they still look like they have a bit of doughiness to them in the center. They always seem to turn out wonderfully chewy. That's just how we like them.
  • 7. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies spread less and keep their shape better.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: The quality of the chocolate chips will make a big difference in the taste of the cookies. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. If the cookies are baked at too high of a temperature, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Minty chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. By following these tips, you can make the best minty chocolate chip cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone who tries them.
