Chocolate Mint Cookie RecipeA chocolate mint cookie recipe that will become a firm favorite. So easy to make and combining chocolate with the fresh flavor of mint. They would be good packed in a lunch box or with a cup of coffee. If you like, you could top them with chocolate mint thins (After Eights in the UK). Take the cookies out of the oven when they are cooked and just pop a mint thin on top to melt - delicious.
Chocolate Mint Cookie 2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350F, 180C. Take 3 baking trays and grease them with butter or oil. Put half the chocolate chips into a medium sized glass bowl and heat in the microwave until they're melted. Give them 30 second blasts and stir to help them on their way to melting. Cool whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
Mix the flour and baking powder together. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, corn syrup and mint extract together - use an electric beater - the mixture should be quite thick. Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate, then stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix in remaining chocolate chips. Put about 8 tablespoons of cookie batter on each baking sheet - keep them well spaced, bearing in mind that the mixture will spread as they cook. The cookies should be cracked on top when they're cooked - about 15 minutes. If you like, you could put a chocolate mint thin onto each cookie at this point to melt.
