Chocolate mint cookies

My neighbor in Idaho gave me this recipe. They are so yummy!!


2 1/4  c  flour
2/3  c  baking cocoa
1  t  baking soda
1/4  t  salt
1  c  butter, softened
3/4  c  sugar
2/3  c  packed brown sugar
1  t  vanilla extract
2  large eggs
1/2  bag  chocolate chips
1/2  bag  mint chips

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in small bowl.  Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in morsels.  Drop by well-rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until centers are set.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

*Add flour if cookies go flat.  This is a fairly stiff dough, and I find that they work out best if you roll them in a ball before you place them on the cookie sheet. YUMMY!!!
*It would probably be good with peanut butter chips too.
