When I made these cookies for the first time a week ago I knew immediately that they were special. So special that I needed to share them with others.
I signed up for the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap awhile ago and I just could not commit to a cookie that I wanted to share. I didn’t want the cookies I sent to be just any cookies. I wanted them to be particularly delicious and they also needed to travel well.
I had a hunch when making these Triple Chocolate Mint Fudgies that they could be the ones and then, once I tasted them, I knew. They are just so moist and chocolatey and have just a touch of mint that is so refreshing. They tasted enough like Christmas to pass them along!
The idea behind the cookie swap is very simple. You send and receive 3 dozen cookies from bloggy friends around the country. You already know how much receiving mail brings me joy and I obviously love to bake and share my goods, so it was a no-brainer for me to sign up!
It was so much fun to give and receive cookies with others who enjoy and appreciate baking as much as I do!
Thank you to Julie and Lindsay for organizing and if you are intrigued and would like to sign up next year, sign up to receive information here.

Ingredients (60 cookies)
- 10 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 pound semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place semi-sweet chocolate in medium microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until melted and smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine eggs, peppermint extract and coffee powder. In another small bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 15 seconds.
Add egg mixture.
Add melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Add milk and white chocolate chips and mix just to incorporate.
Refrigerate dough for 20 minutes.
