Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
My favorite chocolate chip cookie dough made with mini chocolate chips and MINT chips! The perfect cookie for holiday cookie exchanges - it makes 4 dozen!
Servings: 36 cookies
Cost: $6
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter , melted
- ⅔ cup (134g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups (372g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (132g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (136g) chopped Andes Mints (from about 2 boxes) or Andes mint baking chips, if you can find them
Instructions
- Pour butter into an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. While still hot, add both sugars and mix on low until combined. Let sit to cool for a few minutes.
- While butter mixture is cooling, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir and set aside.
- Turn mixer (with butter mixture bowl attached) on low. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing completely. Mix in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and mint chip pieces.
- Scoop one tablespoon (or two tablespoon) balls of dough and place close together on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat. Cover the cookie dough balls with plastic wrap and at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or silpat liners. Place cold cookie dough balls 2 inches apart (these cookies do spread).
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from pans to cool completely.

Notes
- You can chill cookie dough balls longer than an hour - for longer chilling (overnight or longer) place in an airtight container.
- Freeze cookie dough balls too! You can bake from chilled thawed or frozen.
- Store baked and cooled cookies in an airtight container or gallon size bag at room temp or freeze for several months.
- You'll need about 2 boxes of Andes Mints if you can't find the chips. Coarsely chop them.
