How to Make Grandma's Chocolate Mint Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of mint chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Alternatively, melt gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.)
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the melted mint chocolate chips until well combined.
  5. Stir in ½ cup light corn syrup.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in ⅓ cup granulated sugar.
  8. Place the cookies about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Watch closely as they can burn quickly.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
