Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mint extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Add mint chocolate chips (or chopped mint chocolate candies) and mix on low speed until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out approximately 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls.
- Place the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl and roll each dough ball in the sugar.
- Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 ½ inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8-9 minutes, or until just barely set in the center. Remove from oven.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
