Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until well blended. Beat in eggs and peppermint extract. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt and beat until well blended. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten balls slightly to 1 1/2-inch rounds.
- Bake cookies until edges begin to firm but center still appears soft, about 13 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. (Cookies can be prepared up to 5 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will greatly affect the taste of your mint cocoa mix. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Add a touch of peppermint extract: Peppermint extract is what gives this cocoa mix its minty flavor. Be sure to use pure peppermint extract, not peppermint flavoring. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Sweeten to your liking: This cocoa mix can be made as sweet or as unsweetened as you like. If you prefer a sweeter cocoa, add more sugar or honey. If you prefer a less sweet cocoa, reduce the amount of sugar or honey, or omit it altogether.
- Add some marshmallows or whipped cream: For a special treat, top your cup of mint cocoa with marshmallows or whipped cream. This will make your cocoa even more delicious and festive.
Conclusion:
This mint cocoa mix is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy a cup of cocoa. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a relaxing evening at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this cocoa mix in minutes. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet and minty, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
