11 Mint Chocolate Christmas Cookies Refreshing Recipes

Classic Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Classic Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies, bringing in the invigorating flavor of mint. Perfect for the holiday season, these cookies combine sweet chocolate chunks with a minty essence, creating a festive treat that everyone will love. The vibrant green color from the mint adds a celebratory touch that makes them a must-have for Christmas gatherings.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies will bake evenly.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Eggs and Extracts: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mint extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing until everything is well combined.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to tough cookies.
7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and green mint chocolate chips (along with any optional extra chocolate chips) into the dough until evenly distributed.
8. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading as they cook.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still soft.
10. Cool on Baking Sheets: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. This will help them hold their shape before transferring to a wire rack.
11. Transfer and Cool Completely: After 5 minutes, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This will make sure they stay soft and chewy.
12. Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your Classic Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies to family and friends. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Happy baking! Enjoy these festive treats with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee this holiday season!
