  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped mint chocolate candies
  • 3/4 cup milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (the choice is yours!)
  • 36 full mint chocolates candies, unwrapped

Instructions

Step 1

Cream butter and white and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and creamy. Beat in the sour cream, egg and vanilla extract.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and soda. Stir in chopped mint chocolate candies and chocolate chips.

Step 3

Mix together wet and dry ingredients. Be careful to not overmix. Cover the dough. Chill in the fridge for 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large tray with parchment paper. Take dough out of fridge. Create rounded tablespoons of dough and place on lined tray two inches apart.

Step 5

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until set. Closely watch to not overbake.

Step 6

Once the cookies come out of the oven, press an unwrapped mint chocolate candy on top each cookie. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Using a butter knife, spread the mint chocolate candies across the top of the cookies.

Step 7

Cool completely for 15-20 minutes, and enjoy!
