Have you seen these chips? I was so excited when I discovered them the other day at the grocery store. I just had to try the recipe printed on the back of the chocolate chip bag.

I love chocolate mint and these cookies do not disappoint. Be warned- unless you are a huge fan of mint (like me!), these might be a little too mint-y for you.The cookies have a distinct mint flavor and the dark chocolate chips and chocolate cookie base are delicious. We also thought that the texture was perfect.

They are awesome and they would be fun to bake for your friends and neighbors for Christmas.

Winter Mint Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 2/3 cups Nestle Winter Dark chocolate and mint morsels

Preheat oven to 325*

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, both sugars and vanilla in large mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in morsels.

Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 11 – 13 minutes or until centers are set. Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes and then let cool on wire rack until completely cool.

Makes about 3 to 4 dozen, depending on the size of your scoop.

Jordan and I enjoyed a couple straight out of the freezer today and they were amazing!
