These cookies are so soft and chewy. It is my favorite texture in a cookie.
How To Make Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, gather all your ingredients.
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup Andes mint chocolate pieces or chopped up Andes mints
This dough requires chilling time.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the melted butter and sugars on low speed until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Let sit to cool for about 5 minutes.
While butter/sugar mixture is cooling, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix and set aside.
Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix in vanilla.
Then add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and mint chip pieces.
Use cookie scoop to scoop out dough (or about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie), form into a ball, and place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If the dough is too soft to scoop, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes first.
Cover the cookie dough balls with plastic wrap and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Line large baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
Place cold cookie dough balls 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from pans to cool completely.
Tips & Tricks
- Remember everyones oven works differently, I mean I have a double oven and one oven is hotter then the other so I always have to watch them when trying new recipes. So if you are baking them frozen just be sure to keep an eye on them the last few minutes they are said to be done.
- Store in airtight container for 5 to 7 days.
- A quick tip is to use a good quality chocolate. Trust me, it will make your cookie taste that much better. My favorite go-to chocolate chips are Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. They are seriously the best chocolate chips.
- Some of my favorite gadgets to bake with are the Solula Professional 18/8 Stainless Steel Medium Cookie Scoop I got from Amazon. I also love the LARGE baking pan I got from my favorite store Target Wilton Ultra Bake Professional. Lastly, I love using Amazon Basics Silicone Baking Mat instead of parchment paper. They are super easy to clean and they fit perfectly in your baking pan.
- For all-purpose flour I love using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. I first fell in love with this brand when I started eating healthy back in 2012, shortly after our twins were born. I first tried their Steel Cut Oats. Then when I had more time to bake I started using a lot of their other products such as, Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Gluten Free Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Pastry Flour, Bread Flour, and Xanthan Gum. They have so much more too! Baking mixes, Oats, Bars, Cereal, Granola, Grains, Beans, Seeds, Baking Aids, and more Flours! Seriously go check them out. Best quality baking products out there and no I am not getting paid to say this, I just love their products that much!
- Since I bake quite often I like to buy stuff in bulk. I love buying my flour, sugars, pure vanilla extract, butter, oil, eggs, and spices at Costco.
- Costco, Target, & Amazon are my favorite stores to shop at!
