Tysen came to me and stated, "I want cookies." (Isn't he polite?) I told him we didn't have any cookies, to which he replied, "I want chocolate cookies." I laughed a little and again told him we didn't have any cookies. He looked at me and said, "Let's make some," and ran to the kitchen, pulled a chair up to the island, climbed up, and waited for me. What could I do? We needed to make some chocolate cookies.
This recipe came from a Weight Watchers meeting years ago, but these don't taste like Weight Watcher cookies!!! These 2-point cookies are delicious! The only problem I have with them is the mint, or rather lack of mint. I LOVE chocolate mint, but this recipe isn't strong enough. I've even double and tripled the amount of mint with very little luck. I still have to figure that out. If you'd like to enjoy some chocolate cookies like Ty, here's the recipe for you.
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup light butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp creme de menthe
2 cups flour
2/3 cups cocoa
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and creme de menthe in a large bowl. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; blend in. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool 1 minute before removing to a wire rack. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
