Supreme Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Tony's favorite cookie but what a pain to make a full batch.   I use my KitchenAid and I end up with flour and cocoa everywhere and my mixer really struggles with that much dough.   So this is my recipe adjustments for half a batch.

2 Cups All purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter softened
1.5 eggs.   2 eggs in cup, whisk and then remove 1 or 2 tablespoons.
1 10oz package mint chocolate chips.
1/2 tsp peppermint extract (optional) I always add it.

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Lightly grease or line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In large bowl combine flour cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside.  (I usually skip this step)

In mixing bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, butter until light and fluffy.   Add eggs  and blend.  Add peppermint extract if using then mix to incorporate

Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well mixed.   Add mint chips and mix.

Drop by tablespoons 3 inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set.   Cool one minute; remove from cookie sheet.

Enjoy!
