Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon mint extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
  6. Stir in 3/4 cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
  7. Scoop out dough balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers might look a bit soft—that’s okay!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookies soft and chewy.’, ‘Use fresh mint extract for the best flavor.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like crushed candy canes or melted chocolate drizzle.’]
