Mint Chocolate Cookies

These are chock-full of chocolate chunks and mint pieces for a chewy and rich cookie!

Mint Chocolate Cookies

Happy Christmas Eve, my friends! I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but thanks to El Niño it’s 70°F in Massachusetts and HUMID AS HELL. I’m pretty sure Santa misheard me – I asked for a white Christmas, not a wet Christmas. Good grief, Charlie Brown.

Regardless of the weather, Santa still needs cookies when he drops off gifts tonight. Mind you, when he gets here he might think he’s in Florida and drop off a snowboard for a kid that’s wearing shorts – but still. If you’re still looking for a cookie to fill his belly, maybe you should make it Double Chocolate Mint Cookies!

Mint Chocolate Cookies

They’re not so chocolatey that you feel like you have to sacrifice part of your dinner just to have one. They’re also not so minty you feel like you just ate a tube of toothpaste. You’ll notice I didn’t add any mint extract to the batter – the Andes Creme de Menthe Chocolate Mint Baking Chips provide exactly the right amount of mint. If you only have the full sized Andes mints on hand, you could even place one on top of the cookie right after they get out of the oven, let it sit for a minute, and then spread it around for a super-simple icing. I highly recommend it.

I want to see what you’re leaving for Santa tonight! Follow me on Instagram and tag #stressbakingholidays so I can check it out when I wake up in the middle of the night to peek under the tree!
