These Mint Chocolate Bliss Cookies are a delightful treat combining the rich flavors of chocolate and refreshing mint. Perfect for any occasion, they are sure to impress.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mint extract until well combined.
Mixing thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors.
Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Use a spatula to fold in the chips evenly.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and mint extract to create the icing. Spread over cooled cookies and let set.
Adjust the consistency of the icing by adding more milk or powdered sugar.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the iced cookies.
Use a spoon or piping bag for a neat drizzle.
Serve the cookies on a platter and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee.
