Minty Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 2/3 cups mint chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs into butter mixture until well incorporated.

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl; gradually add to creamed butter mixture, beating until dough is well blended. Fold chocolate chips into dough. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are set in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
