How To Make mint chocolate chip cookies
-
1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one or more baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat.
-
2In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then beat on medium for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
-
3Add the eggs and yolk, peppermint extract, and food coloring.
-
4In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and combine until the flour is not quite incorporated.
-
5Divide chocolate chips in 2 piles. From 1 pile, reserve 1/3 cup. Add the rest of the pile to the dough.
-
6Chop the other half coarsely, with a knife or in a food processor.
-
7Add the chopped chocolate to the dough, and mix until just combined.
-
8Cover the dough and refrigerate for about an hour, if desired.
-
9Use a 2-inch cookie scoop to form balls of dough and drop them on the cookie sheet. These are very large cookies, I only did 6-8 cookies per pan.
-
10Bake at 350 for about 8-10 minutes, or until BARELY starting to brown on the edges. The centers should mostly be not-shiny when you take them out, but a little shine is okay.
-
11With the 1/3 cup whole chips that you reserved, push them into the baked cookies immediately after taking them out of the oven. This will melt them slightly and make them ooey gooey.
-
12Let cool 5 minutes on the pan, then remove to a cooling rack.
