Lightly golden edges and thick, soft, and chewy centers give them the ideal cookie texture (like these Brownie Cookies).They contain so many green mint chips and dark chocolate chips that the dough can barely hold them together—like my favorite Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies, that’s mind kind of ratio.You can bake these mint chocolate chip cookies after a brief chill, or freeze the cookie dough for cookies on demand.

How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies from Scratch

With their scrumptious wintry flavor and impressive melt-in-your-mouth texture, these cookies are equally as wonderful for parties as they are for cozy, chilly nights at home with cups of Crockpot Hot Chocolate and plaid pajamas. In other words, these chewy mint chocolate chip cookies are perfect (just like my Perfect Cream Cheese Cookies, another holiday favorite!).

The Ingredients

White Whole Wheat Flour. White whole wheat flour is a fantastic way to reap the benefits of whole wheat flour without imparting wheat flavor to your baked goods. (I use white whole wheat flour to make many of my cookie recipes.)

Butter. For tender cookies and delectable butter flavor. Greek Yogurt. Helps make the cookies moist. Adding Greek yogurt also allows us to use a smidge less butter. Sugar. Instead of using only refined sugar, I opted to use some coconut sugar (like in these Coconut Cookies). You can swap brown sugar for coconut sugar if you prefer.Egg. An egg helps soften the cookies, adds moisture, and makes them chewy around the edges.Vanilla. A must-have ingredient for the best cookie flavor. Mint and Dark Chocolate Chips. A mix of both mint and dark chocolate baking chips is the secret to these cookies’ perfect flavor. The half mint/half dark chocolate combo makes the cookies taste rich and minty.
