Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mint chocolate chips (or chopped Andes mints)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, mixing until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips (or chopped Andes mints).
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to stay fudgy.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For extra minty flair, you can top them with a few more mint chocolate chips before serving.
These Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies are a perfect blend of rich chocolate and cool mint, making them an irresistible dessert for any occasion!
