Cream together the softened butter and sugar.
Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

Dutch processed cocoa powder will result in a deeper, richer chocolate flavor. If your local grocery store doesn’t carry any, you can order it here: Ghirardelli Unsweetened Dutch Process Cocoa Pouch, 8 Ounce, Brown, Dark Chocolate
I am usually not a fan of more specialty ingredients but it really makes the difference in these cookies.
Add the chocolate mint pieces and combine by hand. The batter will be very fudgy and thick.
Drop by tablespoon on the cookie sheet. I use my cookie scoop to make sure they are all even sized. It is one of my favorite tools, if you don’t have one, you can order one by clicking here: OXO Good Grips Medium Cookie Scoop
Bake for 8 minutes in a 350 degree oven. I rotate by placing the sheet on the bottom rack for 4 minutes then move to the top rack for 4 minutes for even cooking.
Remove from oven and let cool about 4 minutes before removing from pan to a cooling rack. They are so chewy if you remove them right away they will tear.
These are the cookies dreams are made of!
