These soft and chewy cookies are a favorite during the holiday season but can be enjoyed year-round. With their vibrant minty taste and decadent chocolate chips, they are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the creamed mixture. Mix again until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and, if desired, the crushed peppermint candies for an added festive touch.
7. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
8. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers still look slightly soft.
9. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Enjoy: Once cool, enjoy your Classic Mint Chocolate Cookies with a glass of milk or serve them at your next holiday gathering. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
