Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick peppermint extract
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 2/3 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces mint chocolate

Method
 

  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar and peppermint together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  2. Beat in one egg at a time until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together (flour, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, cocoa powder and salt).
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and mint chocolate.
  6. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  8. Scoop 3 tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a silpat or parchment paper covered baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 6-7 minutes. Cookies may seem undercooked, but it's okay. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
