Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love a good cookie and a staple cookie for me is chocolate chip with not too many chocolate chips. I love the dough more than the chocolate. I am a chocolate lover but for some reason prefer no chips in my chocolate chip cookies. :)

I made these today to add a twist to them and unfortunately it didn’t make too many cookies. Not because the recipe itself, but because a cookie dough thief comes and snatches all the dough before it can get baked. I used to be able to blame this on my sister because I would hide the dough from her because I was mean and not for any other reason. Sorry sis! But this time, I can only blame myself as I wouldn’t serve raw egg to my son. I hate probably ate half the dough today. I know have a terribly food baby rolling around in the pit of my stomach.

Needless to say, this is great dough and great cookies.

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mint morsels

Combine sugar and coconut oil in a standing mixer.

Hope you didn’t eat all the dough so that you would enjoy the fresh baked cookies! :)
