Let's find out more about the ingredients that we need for making mint chocolate cookies. Make sure you have this list with you as you head to the stores. However, this is a general overview so you might like to refer to the recipes below to find out about the measurement of each of the items.

Butter- We shall use unsalted butter for this recipe because salt is often added separately for seasoning so you do not want your cookies to turn extra salty, do you?

Sugar- Granulated sugar is the best when you are making desserts because they easily blend in the mixture without having to stir a lot.

Eggs- This acts as a leavening agent. But make sure that the eggs are all present at room temperature otherwise, they fail to make your cookies fluffy.

Flour- We are going to use all-purpose flour for this cookie recipe although you can use any other option in case you are going gluten-free or cutting on carbs.

Chocolate- Dark chocolate is required for the cookies.

Vanilla essence- To enhance the taste of the cookies.

Mint extract- You cannot make mint cookies without mint, can you?

Well, tips are something we all need, even if we turn an expert at baking. Here are some tips that we learned along the way and would love to share with you.

When you are melting the chocolate make sure that you are not completely giving it time to become liquid rather a semi-solid consistency is required.

Chilling the dough is an important step before you bake the cookies. This prevents the dough from spreading on the surface of the baking tray as the dough ingredients get time to mingle with each other. As the butter in the mixture solidifies again, the dough becomes firm and some moisture is also added to it when allowed to cool down uncovered in the refrigerator.

How much mint extract is good for making mint chocolate cookies

That's a question we all have! How much mint extract is enough for a batch of chocolate mint cookies? The answer to your question is half a teaspoon is good enough. Blend it with vanilla extract to create a smooth solution which is then added to the dough.

So, that was all about mint chocolate cookies. But cookies like we said are not the only thing that you can make in this genre. There are several other options for you to indulge in.
