INGREDIENTS
2 3/4 cups (358g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup (224g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup + 2 tablespoons (233g) of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons (28g) light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of mint extract
1 1/4 cups (211g) white chocolate chips
6 tablespoons of crushed mint
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Beat butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. You should be able to see the color change and know it is ready.
Add the egg and mix until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and the mint extract and mix until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. It will be thick and should not be sticky. Do not over-mix.
Once it is well combined, add the pieces of white chocolate and mint and use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball.
Create balls the size of a tablespoon and a half of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then place the balls on the baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes. The cookies will spread out and the centers will look soft, but they should look done. Remove them just as the edges begin to brown. Do not over-bake. The cookies may look a little puffy when you take them out of the oven but they will fall off a little when they cool.
Take them out of the oven and let them cool on a baking sheet for 4-5 minutes before putting them on a wire rack to cool completely.
