MINT CHOCOLATE PUDDING COOKIES



MINT CHOCOLATE PUDDING COOKIES image

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are a scrumptious dessert made with pudding mix, mint extract and chocolate chips. This lovely mint cookie recipe is perfect for those who love mint chip ice cream!

Provided by Jessica & Nellie

Categories     Cookies     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
½ cup butter (softened (1 stick))
1 egg
½ cup sour cream
1 box 3.4 box instant vanilla pudding mix
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp mint extract
1 drop blue coloring + 7-10 drops green coloring
1 ½ cups chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
  • Begin by creaming together the sugar and butter, in a large bowl, until nice and fluffy.
  • Then, add in the egg, sour cream and dry pudding mix, stir well to combine.
  • Next, in a separate small bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • After that, incorporate the flour mixture into the butter and pudding mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Now, add the mint extract and food coloring until desired color is achieved.
  • Lastly, add in the chocolate chips. I used 3/4 cup chocolate chunks, 3/4 cup regular chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Andes baking bits. Any combination is wonderful, but note that while the Andes mint baking pieces add an incredible flavor, they kind of disappear in the cookies. So add them in addition to the 11/2 cups chocolate chips, if you opt to put them in!
  • Start dropping the cookie dough by the rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Then, bake for 10 minutes.
  • When done baking, transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Serve fresh and warm, enjoy!

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz dark chocolate chunk, or your preference

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: The quality of your chocolate chips will greatly affect the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high cacao content.
  • Chill your dough: Chilling the cookie dough helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough, dry cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined and avoid overworking it.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that your cookies are all the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Mint chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfect every time.
