Prep Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes
Servings 16 - 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¾ Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter at room temperature
  • ½ Cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • ½ Cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Mint Leaves chopped
  • 1 ½ Cups Dark Chocolate Chunks

Instructions

  1. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together into a large mixing bowl. Set off to the side.
  2. Add the butter and sugars to the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl. Mix on low until just about combined. Add in the mint and chocolate and mix until combined and no more flour is visible.
  4. Scoop out about 3 tablespoon balls of dough on to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press down on the top of each dough ball to slightly flatten. Once all the dough is portioned out, chill the baking sheet in the fridge for at least an hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  6. Arrange about six cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
