Carrie’s Sweet Life

I am a sucker for the new or limited edition candy and food. While walking around the grocery store last time I spotted this bag of dark chocolate and mint chips. Hummm, I hate mint, but Adam likes mint, and it’s something new, into the cart they went.

I decided to just go with the recipe from the back of the bag, Adam, my co-workers and his co-workers raved about them, loving them. I guess I need to buy a few more bags of chips to keep so I can make them later again.

Mint Chocolate Delights (From: Nestle)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) Nestle dark chocolate and mint morsels

Preheat oven to 325° F.

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 tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until cookies are puffed and centers are set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
