Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mint M&M candies
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Paddle Attachment
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the melted butter and sugars. Beat until well combined using the paddle attachment.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. Incorporate the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt into the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  5. Gently stir in the chocolate chips and mint M&M candies by hand.
  6. Use a large cookie scoop to drop 12 balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for exactly 10 minutes. The cookies will appear underdone but will continue to set up while cooling.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
  9. Store the cookies in an air-tight container. Enjoy!

Notes

For an extra burst of mint flavor, you can add a few drops of peppermint extract to the dough along with the vanilla extract.
