Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped mint Oreo cookies (can use Thin Mints)
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Guittard mint chips (or chopped Andes mints)
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
- In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth and fluffy using stand or hand mixer. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients on low speed until just blended; avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chopped Mint Oreos, chocolate chips, and mint chips. Scoop dough by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake about 10 minutes until edges are set and centers still look soft. Let cookies sit on baking sheet 3-5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not pack flour when measuring; fluff up, spoon into cup, and level off for accuracy., Use fresh baking soda for perfect rise and texture., Softened butter should be cool room temperature, not melted., Both granulated and brown sugars provide balance of sweetness and chewiness., Avoid overbaking to keep cookies tender; slightly underbaked centers are ideal., Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days., Cookies freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw or warm before serving., Cookie dough balls can be frozen and baked later by adding 1-2 minutes to baking time.
