DESCRIPTION

Most mint chocolate chip cookie recipes are basically just chocolate chip cookies that have a little bit of mint oil or extract add to it. I wanted a cookie that was more reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream; one that has a creamy edge, with a soft chew and bite. To achieve that, I used cream cheese and powdered milk, which you can find at most grocery stores (if you can’t find it in the baking section of the grocery store, look where you would normally find non-dairy milk like almond and soy milk. If not there, then look where the teas and coffees are). The powdered milk in particular really helps achieve not only the mellow creaminess that gives it a bit of an ice cream richness, but also helps the edges of the cookie brown a bit, letting you get that crispy edge but still soft chewy inside. The food coloring is totally optional and up to you but I personally love my mint flavored food to look green. Use more food coloring for a deeper color or less if you want just a faint hint of green.



INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 cup (100 g) powdered milk
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 4 ounces (115 g or 1/2 brick) cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (150 g) 1/4-inch chopped dark chocolate chunks
  • 12 to 20 drops green food coloring
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 cup (200 g) white granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
