Anybody have a real good mint chocolate cookie recipe? Like, chocolate, with a touch of mint flavoring? I'm thinking about making my boyfriend some for Valentines day, but I wanted to get a nice, simple recipe, since I'm cookingly-challenged.
(If you have one for high elevation, that would be FABULOUS since I live at 7000 feet...if not, it's all good, high elevation only makes cookies more flat, but doesn't affect the taste)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until blended, then mix in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Try swapping out the chocolate chips for Andes Mint Chips! Should work a treat.
Here's a picture of some cookies cooked with the above recipe, by someone who also lives at high altitude:
I hope this helps, I'm now going to raid the fridge, that made me hungry.
