Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp mint extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Beat in the egg and mint extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto prepared sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool on baking sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Notes
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes can help prevent excessive spreading during baking.
