How to Make Polka Dot Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar with 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually beat in the cooled melted chocolate mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup green mint chips.
  8. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 10-15 minutes, or until slightly firm. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. (Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.)
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
