Mint chocolate chip cookies

Hello guys!

So chocolate chip cookies are an all time favourite! But were not making chocolate chip cookies...no we are making MINT chocolate chip cookies! Taking these amazing cookies up a notch (or two)! The mint just makes them even more fabulous! So here are the ingredients:- 

For the cookie dough

200g softened butter

300g soft brown sugar

2 eggs

1tsp vanilla extract

1/2tsp peppermint extract

1tsp baking powder

200g chocolate chips

70g cocoa powder

300g plain flour

For the icing

1/2tsp peppermint extract

140g icing sugar

5tbsp boiling water

2tbsp cocoa powder

Method

1) preheat the oven to 180 degrees

2) cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy

3) add in your eggs one at a time, mix well inbetween each addition

4) add your vanilla and peppermint extract and mix well 

5) fold in your flour, cocoa powder and baking powder until incorporated! Stir in your chocolate chips

6) using an icecream scoop or a tablespoon, spoon the mixture onto a greased baking tray (leaving some room inbetween each cookie) and bake for around 12 minutes!

Whilst they are baking lets make the glaze! Add all the glaze ingredients to a saucepan and heat on low until all the ingredients are melted and combined!

Once the cookies are baked, take them out of the oven and drizzle over the glaze and your done! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this recipe! Have any requests? Let me know:)
