Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups cane sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mint baking chips
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350° F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream or mix together the softened butter and sugar.
- Mix the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract into the butter mixture.
- In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
- Fold the chocolate chips and mint baking chips into the mixture by hand.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop about a tablespoon of cookie dough, and drop it into a small bowl of powdered sugar; roll the dough ball around, making sure it’s coated with powdered sugar.
- Place each sugar coated dough ball on the cookie sheet, and bake at 350° F for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are set.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*I normally use an ungreased cookie sheet, but depending on the kind of baking sheet you use, you may want to spray it with a little cooking spray.
