Chocolate Mint Cookie Recipe

Copyright © 2021 – This original adapted recipe is by Taryn Bloem – thesupermomsclub.com
Prep Time: 5 – 10 minutes for the dough
Bake Time: 10 minutes
Oven Temp: 180˚ Celsius or 360˚ Fahrenheit
Yield: 40 Cookies

Ingredients (for the chocolate mint cookies):

125g Butter
1 Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Cups Cake Flour
Pinch Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
*90g Packet Chocolate Flavored Instant Pudding Powder *see notes below
1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
40g Bar Of Chopped Mint Chocolate

Method:

Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl, and beat well to cream.

Scrape down your mixing bowl, as sometimes the butter can accumulate on the sides, and add the eggs, mixing until well incorporated.

Sift in the flour and salt and mix until it forms a soft dough.

Add the *instant pudding powder, cocoa powder, chopped mint chocolate and baking powder, and mix until combined.

*Instant Pudding Powder manufacturers: Moirs, Royal, Angel Delight, Jell-O & Dr. Oetker (from what I can find). In South Africa, I use Moirs instant pudding powder. They come in a 90g packet and are mixed with 450ml milk – BUT DON’T MIX IT WITH MILK FOR THIS RECIPE – USE THE POWDER ONLY!!! I’m just letting you know what the pack size and normal mixing instructions are, as manufacturers vary around the world. I know, for instance, that Angel Delight in the UK is a 59g packet to 300ml milk, so you’d need 1½ packets, while Jell-O in the USA is a 96g packet… hope this helps to make that a little clearer for recipe adjustments!

This cookie dough can be frozen for up to six months, which is handy if you’re making multiple batches.

Place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to get cold before making the cookies.

To make the cookies, measure out tablespoonfuls of dough, roll into balls, and place on a baking sheet prepared with greased parchment paper. Press the ball down (in the center) using the back end of a spoon. If you’re confused about this method, the video demonstrates exactly how it’s done!

Place on the middle shelf in a pre-heated oven and bake at 180˚ Celsius or 360˚ Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

Allow to cool, and enjoy!
