chocolate mint delights

This is the third and last recipe I’m posting using the “Nestle Toll House Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels”. (See the chocolate mint cheesecake and the mint cocoa). This recipe is almost the same as the classic Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe, but with some slight changes, including adding cocoa to make chocolate batter, and of course, using the mint chips. Warm out of the oven, these cookies are absolutely addicting. :)

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 2/3 cup (10 ounce package) Nestle Toll House Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually stir in the flour mixture. Add the morsels. Drop by well-rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until cookies are puffed and centers are set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then let cool on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

(For mini cookies, drop by well-rounded measuring teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are puffed and centers are set. This would make around 7 dozen.)
