How to Make Cocoa Mint Hideaways

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup (30g) chopped fresh mint leaves (or 1 tbsp mint extract).
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup (113g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
  9. Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, take half of the cookies and spread a thin layer of your favorite mint chocolate frosting on one side of each cookie (optional).
  11. Carefully pair the cookies to form sandwich cookies. Gently press together to seal.
  12. (Optional) Use a cookie cutter to create uniform shapes after sandwiching.
