Okay, this isn't good. I've found another cookie to smother with love. Yet another food item to add to the craving list!

I made these today and passed samples out at the school to be Mom-Approved. They were met with the appropriate oooh's and ahh's that give this cookie thumbs up for Cookies and Catwalks. They are very comparable to the Mint Girl Guide Cookies. Sorry, girls! Looks like you've got competition!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 cups unsalted butter
1/2 cup refined white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I used half semisweet, half milk chocolate)

Melt butter then put in electric mixer. Add white and brown sugars. Cream together then add remaining ingredients. Drop cookie sized portions of dough on sheet and bake for 10 minutes in 350 degree oven.
