Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are ridiculously good. A chewy double chocolate chip cookie with a peppermint twist. Pass the milk!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 sticks butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.

Whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda. Beat the butter on medium speed for about 1 minute, until smooth. Add the sugars and beat for another 2 minutes or so, until well blended. Add the peppermint extract. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat until blended. Add the dry ingredients, mixing only until just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
