Mint Brownie Cookies

Don't you just love it when you bake something, take it somewhere for others to partake and then you feel like a rockstar all day because you get so many compliments on them?

If you love that feeling, then make these cookies and take them to work. I had people asking me for the recipe, telling me I should open a bakery and generally making "yummy" noises at me while rubbing their tummies. In conclusion, I was a rockstar.

These cookies were very fudgy like a brownie and I absolutely fell in love with the mint chips I used in them (they are Hershey's Dark Chocolate and Mint chips). They were my perfect cookie: Chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Very impressive. Go cookies!

Mint Brownie Cookies
Adapted from Baking Bites

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package Hershey's Dark Chocolate and Mint Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together melted butter and sugars. Mix in the eggs, stirring them in one at a time, then add the vanilla.

Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture, until no streaks of flour remain. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until cookies are set and tops are slightly cracked looking. Cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
