Ingredients

  • 140g/1 cup plain flour/all purpose flour
  • 30g/1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 125g/1/2 cup softened butter unsalted
  • 100g/1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 50g/1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 tsp This is an affiliate link.vanilla
  • 200g/7 oz mint flavoured chocolate see notes
  • 4 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped chocolate optional
  • 1 tsp flaked sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients; flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter with the brown and white sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Add the mixed dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and start combining them on low speed. Stop once in a while, scrape the sides with a flexible spatula and continue beating until the dough forms. Mix in the chopped mint flavoured chocolate and give everything a brief mix until the chocolate is well incorporated into the cookie dough but do not overmix. We don't want to break the chocolate.
  • Scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop and place the dough balls on parchment or silicone lined cookie sheet 1 inch apart as they will spread in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until hard around the edges. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with chopped chocolate or press a few chocolate chips into warm and soft cookies, then top with the flaked sea salt.
  • Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then transfer on wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If you are not able to find mint flavoured chocolate, use regular chocolate +1 tsp peppermint extract flavouring.
