How to make mint cookies with chocolate?

1. Homework. Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet, then set aside.
2. melt wet ingredients. Combine the almond butter and maple syrup in a bowl and microwave for 20 second intervals. Add the mint extract and beat until combined.
3. make the cookie dough. Fold the mixture through the oatmeal and cocoa powder to create a thick batter. After the dough cools, you can add the chocolate chips.
4. shape and cool. Scoop out portions of the dough and shape into cookies. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to harden.

Tips to make the best recipe.

• Avoid overheating the almond butter.. The almond butter/syrup should be melted, but it shouldn’t be too hot as it can melt the chocolate chips.
• sift the flour. If your oatmeal is coarser, sift it carefully to make sure the cookies are free of lumps.
• Use peppermint extract. You may see peppermint, spearmint, or even a generic mint extract. Always choose the mint type as it has the best mint flavor and has no added sugars.
• add plugins. These cookies are super easy to customize, to add some chopped candy canes, candy buttons, or even drizzle some melted chocolate on them.
