    freshly baked mint chocolate cookies on a plate

    I asked my viewers on YouTube, what kind of cookies they wanted me to bake for the next Cookie Monday.  I gave three options, Mint Chocolate Chunk, Green Tea, and White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. Boy, was it a close vote! I had over 500 comments voting between Mint Chocolate and Green Tea, but Mint Chocolate Chunk won.

    If you are a mint lover, you will thoroughly enjoy the cookies. In every bite, there is mint and a huge chunk of chocolate, which I think is one of the best combinations ever.

    Tips and Tricks for Making These Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies: 

    • Make sure to give an even space or distance between each cookie when baking. It will prevent the cookies from sticking to each other after baking.
    • Do not over mix the cookie dough. After all the ingredients are well-combined, then the mixing process should be done. Overmixing it would make the cookies rubbery.
    • For easy baking, use a nonstick baking sheet. If you do not have it, you can use a regular cookie sheet and just line it with parchment paper.
    • If you love more texture on your cookies, you can add chopped almonds and mix well.
    • The dough of the Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies when almost done will be kind of dry so kneading or mixing it by hand would be better than using a handheld mixer.

    How to Make these Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies:

    These are the Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies ingredients that you will need:

    • butter, softened
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar
    • vanilla extract
    • egg yolk
    • egg
    • all-purpose flour
    • unsweetened cocoa powder
    • salt
    • baking soda
    • baking powder
    • mint chips
    • chocolate chips
    • chopped chocolate bar

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mat.

    In a large bowl, add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cream together:

    Frequently Asked Questions for the Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe:

    Q: Can you freeze mint chocolate chunk cookies?

    A: Yes you can freeze them. Just remember to thaw completely before serving. You can warm them up in a microwave after thawing.

    Q: Should we measure the flour before or after sifting?

    A: For me, I always sift the flour first before measuring. This will ensure lump-free cookies.

    Q: How far in advance can I make the dough?

    A: You can make the dough a day in advance and just freeze it. Remember to thaw it properly before baking them.

    Q: How long do these cookies stay good at room temperature?

    A: You can keep them at room temperature for about a day but it is best to keep them in an airtight container and chill them.
