Soft Chocolate and mint cookies

Soft Chocolate and mint cookies? If I would have been asked 5 or 6 years ago about mixing chocolate and mint, I would have probably raised my eyebrows and ended up without a reply.

So, 5 or 6 years ago I had for the first time a Starbucks chocolate-mint hot drink that tasted so good that each Christmas time I prepare it at home using my personal Christmas blend. Well it’s not like the original one, but still it’s so delicious. Maybe one day, while it’s still winter time I’ll share my own recipe of chocolate-mint hot drink.

As I already mentioned here, this December I had the chance to try-out new recipes and also never turn off the oven (haha, you can guess my electric bill). So I’ve decided to convert my favourite drink into cookies.

Just bear in mind that these cookies tend to spread while baking, so make sure to leave some space while placing them in the baking tray. My suggestion is to bake them in tranches.
