Let me tell you how the idea for these melt in your mouth yummies came about. In the past few months, I've gotten hooked on the game Farmville 2: Country Escape. One of the items you have to make are cookies that are similar to these. One night when I was playing I thought some cookies like this would be a really yummy snack. So after a little trial and error, and some hunting for mint chips, this is my version of Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies. You may be able to find just mint chips where you live and if you can, by all means, use those if you want.

 

Ingredients:

​

• 1 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

​

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.

 

In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Gradually blend into creamed mixture. Stir in morsels.

 

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes. Cool slightly then remove from cookie sheet onto wire rack and cool completely.
