Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 c butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2c brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 3/4 tsp peppermint/mint extract
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

• Preheat over to 350 (F)
• In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars together till creamy. Add egg whites and extracts and blend together.
• In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients (except for choco chips).
• Gradually add flour mixture to egg and sugar. Use wooden spoon (or your hands!) to work the dough together and stir in the choco chips. It will be crumbly, but have no fear, Anita is here (you'll be fine).
• Drop cookie dough by the teaspoonfuls on a cookie sheet. If you are using an old cookie sheet you can line it with parchment paper of grease it before hand. Lightly press the cookie dough balls down a little.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes (don't bake for more!) Cool on a porcelain plate or a rack.
• Enjoy!
