How to Make Chocolate Mint Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg white, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon mint extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in ½ cup applesauce.
- Roll the dough into a log (approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter) and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. This chilling step helps prevent the cookies from spreading during baking.
- Slice the chilled dough into ¼-inch thick rounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
