The cookies are BIG and thin, so they might look crispy....they're not. They're soft and bendy, and utterly delicious.
Hint o' Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
ingredients:
2 & 1/4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
8 ounces mint dark chocolate m&m's (you won't use them all)
instructions:
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Beat the butter and sugars together until combined and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating between additions and scraping down the bowl as necessary. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour on low in three additions, just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Bake for 12-14 minutes...the side will look done and the middles will still be soft. Cool on the tray for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
If desired, sandwich around mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Oooooo, these look like perfect cookies! And how cute with the green M&M's!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! so cute & clever.

ReplyDeleteIve had my eye on those M & Ms but have never picked them up. Now you have me convinced they are a must-purchase item. GREAT lookin' cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love a thin, bendy, chocolate chip cookie myself. Adding the M&M's and creating an ice cream sandwich...great idea, especially with the ice cream you chose. Glad you had a great time in Seattle and with Teresa.

This is complete mint choc chip heaven! I don't think we get mint M&Ms in the UK which makes me kind of sad...going to see if I can order some online now!
