Tonight for dinner is grilled cheese and bacon with tomato soup. When we went to the store to gather our ingredients, I stumbled upon some mint chips and got the itch to make cookies. Since the dinner is simple and we aren't making anything from scratch I figure why the hell not.
Chocolate Cookies with Mint Chips:
1cup (2 sticks) butter, cold and cubed
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 lg eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups mint chips
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper
- Using an electric mixer cream your butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
- Add the eggs one at a time scraping down the sides each time
- Mix in the cocoa powder until well blended
- Add flour, salt and baking powder and mix on a low speed until incorporated
- Fold in chips
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and briefly knead the dough until combined
- Divide the dough into equal portions, the number depends on how big you like your cookies
- Roll each portion into a ball and slightly flatten on the baking sheet a few inches apart
- Bake for 16 - 20 minutes
- Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 - 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack
