Key Ingredients & Substitutions
- Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled for the best texture. Melt the butter first and let it sit to cool while you work on gathering the remaining ingredients.
- Granulated and Light Brown Sugar for sweetness and chewiness. All of one can be substituted if needed.
- Cocoa Powder, Dutch processed is best in this recipe.
- Mint Chocolate Chips are the star of this cookie recipe! If you cannot find mint chips, substitute for Andes chocolates and chop them up.
Tips for Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Chill the dough to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Don't overbake them! They should look slightly underbaked in the center. The cookies will continue cooking as they cool.
- Press a few extra mint chips on top of the dough before baking for that bakery-style look!
Make Ahead and Storage Tips
These Mint Chocolate Cookies are great to make ahead. You can scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate if you're not baking them right away. I don't recommend refrigerating the dough unscooped, as it may become too difficult to portion after several hours in the refrigerator.
Once baked, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.
These Mint Chocolate Cookies are one of my favorite cookies to bake! I hope you love baking (and eating) them as much as I do!
