These Triple Chocolate Mint Cookies are rich and fudgy, with three kinds of chocolate and a double dose of mint in the batter and the chocolate mint chips! Perfect flavors for winter, or any time of year!
This post and recipe was created for #ChristmasCookies! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% my own.
Chocolate and mint desserts have my heart. All kinds. You name it, I want it. Cookies, fudge, ice cream, cake. It’s my favorite flavor combo for desserts. And while I am game to eat it all year ’round – when I think of chocolate and mint, I think of Christmas. It’s just something about mint.
And it’s no secret that I’m a chocoholic, so…why wouldn’t I make a cookie using three kinds of chocolate?!? They are rich and fudgy and full of melty, glorious chocolate chips. What’s not to love??
I love cookies warm out of the oven, don’t you? Especially when they have melty chocolate in them. But, these chocolate mint cookies are still soft and delicious after they’ve cooled. A little tip though…if you’re craving that warm cookie with melty chocolate chips, pop it in the microwave for just a few seconds (like, not more than 5) and you can get your fix!
How to make Triple Chocolate Mint Cookies:
{Print Recipe Below}
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat mats.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) cream together the butter and sugars. Add the eggs, vanilla and mint extracts, and mix until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour the flour mixture into the sugar mixture and mix on low until just combined. Stir in the chocolate and mint chips and then refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes.
4. Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the dough
onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes
until edges are firm and center is still slightly soft. If you wish to decorate
with chocolate mint candies, put them on while the cookies are still warm.
Allow to cool on the pans for about 5 minutes
before moving to wire rack to cool completely.
Add these Triple Chocolate Mint Cookies to your holiday baking line-up and watch them disappear from the dessert table as fast as you can put them down!

Prize 2 – Adams Extract Prize Pack
Adams traces its beginnings back to Battle Creek, Michigan, when John A. Adams began making and selling his Green Plant Sarsaparilla extract, Adamur, in 1888. In 1905, he moved his family to Beeville, TX. At the time, most vanilla sold to pharmacies and was often labeled “Do not bake or freeze.” John A. Adams’ wife yearned for a flavoring that wouldn’t bake or freeze out. He announced that he could produce a better vanilla than the one his wife was currently using. Working with just $6.71 worth of materials on top of an old icebox, John A. Adams discovered the formula he wanted. To test this product, his wife whipped up a cake for the family to try. “John, this is the BEST flavoring I have ever used,” she announced. “Well, that’s old man Adams BEST,” he responded.
