    These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are filled with mint chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. No mixer needed and no long chilling the dough needed!

    These cookies are a must for the holidays, along with my Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies top the list and the Perfect Sugar Cookies are right behind them.

    Warm, gooey cookies loaded with chocolate in every bite is what I am craving right now. One look at these beauties and you will too! This is my favorite recipe for cookies with the chocolate and mint flavor combo. It's perfect for any time of year, but certainly for the holidays. These cookies are filled with Andes chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips all mixed in a chocolate cookie dough. Simply irresistible! This recipe comes together really quickly because we are using melted butter so no mixer is needed. Just a mixing bowl and a whisk.

    Ingredients:

    • all-purpose flour
    • unsweetened cocoa powder
    • baking soda
    • cornstarch
    • salt
    • unsalted butter
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar
    • large egg
    • vanilla extract
    • peppermint extract
    • semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • Andes mint chocolate chips

    Step by step instructions

    Step 1: wet ingredients

    • Simply melt butter and cool.
    • Add both sugars and whisk until smooth.
    • Add egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

    Step 2: dry ingredients

    • Combine dry ingredients together and whisk.
    • Add to the butter-sugar mixture and stir in with a wooden spatula.
    • Add Andes chips and chocolate chips and stir in.

    Step 3: baking

    • Cover the bowl with dough and chill at least 30 minutes.
    • Scoop dough and place on a baking sheet.
    • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Add a few chips on top of every cookie and let cool.

    Freezing

    To make the dough ahead, scoop ready dough into balls, place close together on a sheet and freeze. Place in a ziploc bag and store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
