Chocolate and mint are an absolute must this time of year, don’t you think?

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350
In a mixing bowl beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and peppermint and mix until well combined, then add the eggs and mix again. Add baking soda, cornstarch, salt, and 1 cup of flour and mix on low until combined. Add remaining flour and mix just until incorporated. Stir in all the chips.

Step 2
Scoop dough onto silicone lined baking sheets 2" apart. (If you do not have silicone mats, I suggest refrigerating the dough for an hour or so before baking to help keep the cookies nice and thick.) Bake for 7-8 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but you want that! These are fudgy, chewy cookies. Let them rest on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
Store in an airtight container.
