Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the mint chocolate chips gently. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for thicker cookies or substitute vanilla with peppermint extract for a more intense flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can be frozen for up to three months.
