Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup chopped mint Oreo cookies (or Thin Mints)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup Guittard mint chips or chopped Andes mints

Topping

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat like Silpat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder to remove lumps and combine evenly. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the unsalted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well incorporated. This helps to create a soft, tender cookie.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the pure vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the wet ingredients are fully blended.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until combined, being careful not to overmix which can result in tougher cookies.
  6. Fold in mix-ins: Gently stir in the chopped mint Oreo cookies, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and mint chips by hand, evenly distributing them throughout the cookie dough.
  7. Shape and bake cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a burst of flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
  8. Cool cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on the sheet for 3 to 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. This resting period helps the cookies set perfectly while staying chewy inside.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and soft.
  • Use chopped Thin Mints as a delicious alternative to mint Oreos for a different texture and flavor.
  • Sprinkling flaky sea salt enhances the mint and chocolate flavors and adds a pleasant contrast.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing to preserve their texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
