Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
2 extra-large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mint chips (or chopped Andes Chocolate Mints)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
- With a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla and peppermint extracts and mix well.
- Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and mint chips.
- Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. With two fingers, press the cookies down to about 1 inch thick, keeping the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until not glossy. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
