Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons mint extract (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the mint and vanilla extracts.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Allow to cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the best flavor, let your butter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before use. Consider experimenting with different types of chocolate chips or adding chopped nuts for a twist!
