Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe
This Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies recipe may be an old one, but it’s a classic! Tons of chocolate flavor in a rich, chewy mint chip cookie.
I was a big fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream when I was a kid, and these double chocolate mint cookies definitely remind me of that flavor profile!
Weirdly, it’s the only recipe on my site that’s evocative of mint chip ice cream! (I do have mint chocolate chip biscotti coming, at some point!)
This mint chocolate chip cookies recipe was always popular when I’d make it personally for Christmas gifts, and eventually professionally in my holiday cookie trays.
It also formed the basis of the Chewy Mint Chip Cookie Mix, which was a popular flavor before I discontinued the non-caffeinated mix flavors.
This cookie recipe makes fudgy, soft, rich, and chewy cookies… SO tasty.
They’re highly customizable, too.
Mint loves can some mint extract, or not. Swap out some or all of the Andes mint chips for another form of peppermint goodies (more on that in a bit!), or something else.
The chocolate cookie dough is a delicious base for whatever you want to do with it, really!
These cookies are great any time of year, and are equally at home offered up in Christmas cookie exchanges, as they are served up on St Patrick’s Day.
Just a delicious cookie, all around!
The Original Post
46 days. A month and a half. 6.5 weeks… this is how long we’ve been without a kitchen – since the North Minneapolis tornado smashed our house.
Having never had to deal with renovations before, I’m constantly amazed at how long things are taking!
It’s coming along – we have a new ceiling and walls in there now – just one more mud/tape and some sanding, and then they’ll be ready for paint/etc.
Then we should have our new floor by the end of this week, maybe early next week. After almost 7 weeks of drama, it sounds like we’ll finally have our walnut tree hauled out of the yard and off to the mill sometime today – YES!
That would be absolutely devastating, for the loss of that gorgeous tree to be a complete waste. So… keep your fingers crossed that today is the day!
Ah, yeah… kitchen.
Should we go fancy and celebratory? Something simple, as the best way to not mess up our pristine new kitchen?
Go the other way, and do something super complicated that uses a ton of dishes, just because I can? Comfort food?
If you were to go 2+ months without a kitchen, what would you cook as your first meal back? The most popular answer by far? COOKIES.
It’s mostly healthy, definitely comfort food… and it’s the sort of home cooking that’s impossible to replicate with any restaurant meal. Salty, crispy skin… MMMmmm…
But…you guys want cookies!
I happen to have photos of a lot of my cookie recipes, and no ability to make/photograph anything more seasonally appropriate quite yet.. so let’s have a week of cookie recipes!
