These crispy mint chocolate chip cookies feature crunchy edges with gooey dark chocolate pockets, combining refreshing mint flavor with rich bittersweet chocolate for a perfect homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (280g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar (165g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mint chocolate chips (175g)
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate bar, roughly chopped (115g, 70% cocoa recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the mint chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate.
  7. Drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Gently press down the dough balls slightly.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating trays halfway through, until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and intensify flavor. Use high-quality dark chocolate for better melting and taste. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies tender. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking to enhance flavors. Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven and desired gooeyness.
