Mr. Kringle and I love dark chocolate. We imbibe in two “medicinal” 72% squares five days a week because…flavinoids. This chocolate obsession spills over into cookies. When a cookie looks and almost tastes like a brownie, we’re in. Mr. Kringle loves mint meltaways so I thought what better way to celebrate the holidays than with a cookie that has a chocolate mint in it?
I think I just made the nice list! You can too! Here’s the video to take you step by step through the deliciousness.

Mint Dark Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Valrhona)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2-3/4 cup Andes mint baking pieces
- 1 package Andes mints
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter, white and brown sugars. Then add vanilla and eggs.
- Gradually add the 2/3 of the flour mixture.
- Add chocolate and mint chips and stir to combine.
- Then add final 1/3 of flour until dough comes together.
- Drop scoops of dough on a lined cookie sheet. (Roll if you want a smooth cookie, drop if you want a chunky, rustic cookie)
- As is, dough is light mint in flavor. For a stronger mint flavor, make a hole in the middle of the dough ball and fill with mint chips and cover with dough so they don't bake out.
- Bake 10-12 minutes then allow to set on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- When they are cool, cut a slit in the middle of the top of the cookie and slip a full Andes mint into the top.
