1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
3 drops mint extract
2-ish c. flour
cocoa powder to taste (approximately 1/4 c. or so)
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
chocolate chips (probably a cup or so)
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and flavorings and beat well. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add chocolate chips to taste. (Taste dough to make certain it is yummy.) Drop by teaspoon onto papered cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly underbaked. Cool approximately 1 minute before transferring to a plate to cool. While cookies are warm, enjoy one--or two--with a glass of milk. Take the rest with you to the fireworks display on July 4th to win instant friends. ;)
Apologies for the approximations. K and H developed this recipe from a regular chocolate chip cookies recipe, so we added the cocoa powder until it looked right. And H never measures chocolate chips--whatever looks good is what I add. So have fun with it and let us know how it turns out! ~H & K
