Dark Chocolate Mint Cookies Recipe

These irresistibleย Dark Chocolate Mint Cookiesย are loaded with rich chocolate flavor and gooey mint filling.

If you love baking with candy, you need to know about Hershey’sยฎ Minis. They are mini versions of your favorite candies like York Peppermint Patties, Kit Kat, Reese’s, and Rolo. These adorably small candies are unwrapped, so you can stir them right into recipes (or eat them by the handful, whatever you prefer).

Not only has Hershey’sยฎ taken all that pesky unwrapping out of your life, but they are also offering a sweet deal on YORK MINISย at CVS right now. Grab two bags of Hershey’sยฎ Minis in your favorite flavors, and take $1 off! Of course one of the bags should be York Minis so you can make these dark chocolate mint cookies, but I also happen to have a couple of REESE’S Minis recipes too if you want to try Reese’s Popcorn or Reese’s Stuffed Cake Pops! Whichever flavor you choose, be prepared to fight off grabby hands as soon as you open the bag as seen here:

Peppermint seems to be popular around the holidays, but if you ask me it’s perfect for summer recipes too. That cool sensation when you bite into these dark chocolate cookies loaded with minty goodness is just what you need on a hot day. Bake them in the morning before it gets too hot to turn on your oven, and then enjoy them with a cold glass of milk later in the day.

Add Ice Cream to the Dark Chocolate Mint Cookies

Speaking of cool treats, I originally addedย YORK MINISย to homemade vanilla ice cream. I wasn’t happy with my ice cream base, which is why you are getting these tasty cookies instead, but the chocolate mint was a great addition! Definitely try adding them to your favorite vanilla or chocolate homemade ice cream for a minty summer treat. It’s kind of a good thing that my ice cream recipe flopped though because you get these ooey-gooey cookies instead. I hope you love them!

  • 1/4 c. whiteย sugar
