📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place baking chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat on high power in ⏱️ 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Set aside.
2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat both sugars, butter, vanilla, and eggs until smooth. Beat in melted baking chocolate and cocoa powder. Beat in salt, flour and baking soda until well blended. Stir in all the chocolate chips and mint pieces.
(57g) semi-sweet chocolate2 ounces(226g) unsalted butter (, softened)1 cup(200g) brown sugar1 cupvanilla1 teaspoon(10g) unsweetened cocoa powder2 tablespoons(170g) chocolate chips1 cuplarge eggs2baking soda1 teaspoon
3
Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat. No need to space - we are chilling the dough. Chill for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes (but you can cover with plastic wrap and chill up to overnight or even freeze the dough).
4
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or a silpat. Space chilled cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle a few more Andes Baking Chips on top of each cookie and press to adhere. This is optional, but it makes the cookie look prettier!
5
Bake for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes, until the edges lose their sheen. I like these a little under-done, so I take them out when the center is still a tiny bit shiny.
6
Cool ⏱️ 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then move to a rack to cool completely. They'll last a few days in a sealed container, but you can also freeze them in ziploc bags. Be sure to layer paper towels between cookie layers and seal, then freeze for up to one month. Defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator, leaving the paper towels in to absorb the moisture.
