Can I use any type of mint-flavored dark chocolate for these cookies?

Yes, the recipe suggests using either mint-flavored dark chocolate chips or roughly chopped mint-flavored dark chocolate, depending on your preference.

How do I ensure my mint chocolate cookies stay gooey in the center?

After baking for 14 minutes, remove the cookies and let them rest on the tray for 10-15 minutes; this allows the outside to harden while the inside remains gooey.

Is dairy-free chocolate milk essential, or can I use another plant-based milk?

The recipe specifically calls for dairy-free chocolate milk to enhance the chocolate flavor, but you could likely substitute with another plant-based milk and a touch more cacao powder if needed.

Why does this recipe use both dark brown sugar and caster/granulated sugar?

Combining dark brown sugar and caster sugar helps achieve a balanced sweetness and contributes to the cookies' desired texture and chewiness.

Why is the mint chocolate added in two stages?

Adding three-quarters of the chocolate into the dough and then topping with the remaining quarter ensures an even distribution throughout the cookie and a visually appealing finish.

How to Prepare Mint Chocolate Cookies [Vegan]

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking tray with baking paper
Start by adding the butter and both sugars into a mixing bowl and whisk/blend until the mixture is creamed
Then add in the milk and vanilla extract and mix again
Fold in the flour and cacao powder until all the mixture is combined and a cookie-dough has formed
Add 3/4 of the chocolate into the mixing bowl and gently combine into the mixture
Split the mixture into 8 blobs on the baking tray, then flatten slightly until they’re about 5cm width (they will spread when in the oven)
Add the rest of the chocolate to the top of the cookies evenly, then place in the oven for 14 minutes
When 14 minutes has elapsed, take the cookies out of the oven- leave them for 10-15 minutes and during this time they’ll harden a little on the outside (and stay gooey on the inside)
Then, enjoy!
