Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar,
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder,
3 cups quick-cooking oats,
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips,
Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole milk,
1/2 cup unsalted butter,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Cooking the Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Flavoring and Mixing: Stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts. Add the oats and mix until well combined.
- Final Touches: Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets and gently flatten with the back of a spoon.
- Setting the Cookies: Let cookies set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting.
Notes
- You can use old-fashioned oats for a chewier texture.
- Adjust the peppermint extract to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder mint flavor.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the top once set.
