Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies




These Cookies are fantastic, so soft and delish!










Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies


This Recipe is from a great Blog called Little House of Veggies


What You Need:
3/4 cups white whole wheat flour1/2 cup unsweetened coca powder
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp water combined well
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp Earth Balance butter (vegan butter)
1 tsp. vanilla
extra large vegan mint chocolate chips (can be found at Trader Joe's, they are large discs), or regular sized vegan chocolate chips if those can't be found. About 1/2 cup or so folded into the batter.
To Make:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place a sheet of parchment paper or a silpat on a heavy cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, or a Kitchenaid stand mixer, combine all of the dry ingredients. In a very small bowl mix the cornstarch with water and vanilla. Add the cornstarch mixture and Earth Balance butter to the dry ingredients and mix well. Place cookie dough on cookie sheet using a small cookie scooper (or about 1 Tbsp dough per cookie). Bake for 10 minutes, then open the oven and place 1 large chocolate chip in the center of each cookie, pressing down very gently. Place cookies back in the oven for an additional 2 minutes to finish cooking. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove from the cookie sheet to finish cooling.
Side Note:
*if using small chocolate chips, fold them into the cookie dough, and just bake the cookies for 12 minutes total*
