Teresa Ambra
Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies are awesome for holiday baking and Christmas Cookie Exchanges. These wonderful chocolate cookies have a minty flavor due to mint chocolate chips in the cookie and a Chocolate Mint Glaze on top. If you're looking for a chocolate fix, this dessert is right up your alley!

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. mint/peppermint flavoring

Instructions
 

COOKIES:

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  • In large mixing bowl, mix softened butter, sugars, baking soda, salt, eggs, vanilla, and cocoa with an electric mixer.
  • Add UNBLEACHED flour (bleached flour toughens cookies), and mint chocolate chips.
  • Stir in with a wooden spoon until very thoroughly mixed.
  • Do not use an electric mixer or cookies will be tough.
  • Roll into balls and place on sprayed cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. (Mine took 14 minutes).
  • Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks after 7 minutes of baking time.
  • Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to wire cooling racks and cool completely.

CHOCOLATE MINT GLAZE:

  • In a small saucepan, combine all glaze ingredients except vanilla.
  • Bring to a boil; boil 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in vanilla; cool.
  • Beat until smooth and of glaze consistency.
  • Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies; allow glaze to set.

Notes

NOTE: These scrumptious cookies are wonderful with or without the Chocolate Mint Glaze.
 
NOTE: Preparation time includes time needed to drizzle glaze over cookies.
 
NOTE: For easier clean up, place cookie racks over top of waxed paper. Then glaze cookies. The drips from the chocolate glaze will drop on the waxed paper instead of the counter.
 
NOTE: While it may seem that there is a lot of glaze, you will use almost all of it when glazing the cookies. The glaze thickens as it cools. It’s best to spoon the glaze on the cookies before it gets too thick.
