DOUBLE CHOCOLATE AND MINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Position one rack in the center of the oven and one rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the chocolate and butter in a small bowl and place over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the sugar, eggs, 2 tablespoons water and vanilla to blend in a separate large bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the cooled chocolate using a rubber spatula. Fold in chocolate mint pieces. Chill dough to firm slightly, 10 minutes.
• Using a 1/4 cup to measure, drop 6 mounds of batter onto each baking sheet, spacing apart. Put one sheet on the center rack in the oven, and one on the bottom rack.
• Bake cookies 9 minutes. Switch the baking sheets (top to bottom) and bake the cookies until slightly puffed and dry looking with some small cracks on top, 9 to 10 minutes longer. Cool completely on the baking sheets (cookies may deflate slightly as they cool).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream together, butter, sugar and eggs. Mix in remaining ingredients. Blend well.
• Drop by teaspoonful onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-9 minutes. Cookies will be soft. Cool about 1 minute on cookie sheet then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Recipe Variation: For a different flavor, omit peppermint extract and use a total of 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Also substitute peanut butter flavored chips for the chocolate chips.

ADDICTIVE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Stir egg, vanilla extract, and mint into the mixture until thoroughly combined. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into wet ingredients to make a smooth dough. Gently fold chocolate chips into the dough. Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are set, 10 to 12 minutes.

LOW SUGAR DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine ⅔ cup chocolate chips and coconut oil. Stir continuously until just melted and smooth (you don't want the chocolate to be too hot). Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, Allulose granulated sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• To the bowl, add the melted chocolate and eggs. Mix to combine well. Fold in the additional ⅓ cup of chocolate chips (make sure the dough isn't too warm otherwise the chips will melt).
• With a spatula, scoop the dough (about 2 Tbsp.) into balls and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets. The dough will be slightly sticky and you should end up with about 22 balls.
• With slightly wet hands, press the dough to form into cookies about ¼-inch thick (dough will not spread out much with baking). Top each cookie with a couple of additional chocolate chips if desired, slightly press them into the dough.
• Bake the cookies in a preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking time. Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHEWY DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C).
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together for about 1-2 minutes. Add egg, peppermint extract and beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as you go to ensure even mixing.
• Add flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda and powder to a sifter and sift gradually over the wet ingredients mixing as you go. Mix until well combined.
• Add chocolate chips and stir in with a mixing spoon and then chill in the freezer for 10 minutes while the oven finishes heating.
• Form the dough into small balls (heaping 1 Tbsp) and place 1.5 inches apart on an ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the tops down and then top with a few more chocolate chips (to indicate what's inside).
• Bake for 10-12 minutes - the edges should start to dry but the tops will still be slightly soft looking. Let set on the cookie sheet for a few minutes more but sprinkle crushed candy cane on immediately.
• Transfer to a cooling rack to rest until completely cooled. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to a few days or freeze for several weeks.
