Ingredients
1/2cup Butter
1Egg
1Egg yolk
1/3cup Caster sugar
1/4cup Brown sugar
2tspVanilla extract
1/2tspPeppermint extract
1 3/4cup All-purpose flour
1/2tspBaking powder
1/4tsp Baking soda
3/4cup Dark mint chocolate, cut into small piecesYou can also use mint-flavored chocolate chips
Add both sugars, egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract in the bowl and mix well.
Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda and combine with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Fold in the mint chocolate chunks.
Drop by rounded tablespoon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour up to 12 hours.
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 180C.
Place the chilled cookie dough balls on a baking tray. Keep a little space between the cookies as they will spread a bit.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookie is lightly browned and just firm to touch. They do firm up further as they cool, so take care not to overbake them.
Sprinkle some sea salt on top as soon as the cookies come out of the oven.
Let the cookies sit on the tray for a minute then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
These cookies keep very well in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
