Double Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Heat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, white sugar and brown sugar. When the mixture is creamed, add in the egg and vanilla, and mix to incorporate. I call this the “wet mixture.”

Meanwhile, sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. I call this the “dry mixture.”

Slowly (or you’ll end up with it all over you), add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

With a large spoon, gently fold in the mint chips and chocolate chips. Make sure they are distributed as evenly as you can.

In your hands, roll the dough into approximately 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on greased or lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. (I personally use my baking stone which preheats with the oven.)

Bake until centers are just set, about 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
