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

Ingredients

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:

Use good quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the cookies.
Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Do not overbake, or the cookies will be dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These minty chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
