- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips of choice
Instructions
- To brown the butter: Melt ¾ cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter starts to darken in color. It will be bubbly and hot, so be careful of any splatter! Remove from heat and pour into a cold bowl, allowing to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Combine ½ cup browned butter, sugar, and egg. Mix for about 15 seconds.
- Add remainder of ingredients except for chips, and mix well. Fold chips in.
- Drop by 2 tablespoon cookie scoops onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to four days at room temperature. Makes about 14 cookies. Enjoy!
