Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For an extra crunchy texture, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie just before baking—this enhances both the chocolate and mint flavors and adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness.
  • If you prefer a strong minty aroma, gently bruise the fresh mint leaves with a mortar and pestle before chopping and adding them to the dough; this releases more essential oils and intensifies the flavor.
  • To make these cookies egg-free, substitute the eggs with a mixture of ground flaxseed and water (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg), allowing the mix to sit for a few minutes to thicken before adding to the batter.
  • Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container with a slice of apple or a piece of fresh bread to retain their chewiness; replace the apple or bread every couple of days to prevent the cookies from drying out.
