what you need
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 2 packets instant mint flavored hot cocoa (approx. 1 ½ oz. packets)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups chocolate mint chips or finely chopped chocolate mint pieces (like Andes chocolate mint pieces)
make it
1. In a bowl beat butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla; beat until combined. In another bowl combine baking soda, salt, cocoa, instant mint cocoa packets, and flour; sift all these dry ingredients until well combined. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with the mixer. With a wooden spoon, stir in remaining flour mixture. Stir in mint chocolate chips/or mint pieces. Refrigerate about 6 hours.
2. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place 2-3 inches apart on an un-greased cookie sheet. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass in sugar and flatten the dough balls to about 3/8 inches. The sugar on the bottom of the glass prevents the dough from sticking while flattening. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
