Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

I love the chocolate-mint combination, and one of my favorite chocolate mint candies is Andes.  So I decided to make chocolate chocolate chip cookies and stuff them with Andes.  But below I've included a chocolate mint chip recipe, and you can obviously substitute and work in any variations to your liking.  Enjoy!



Ingredients
1 cup butter (2 sticks), cold and cut into small cubes
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mint flavored chips

Instructions
Preheat oven to 360°F.  Cream butter and sugar for ~4 minutes until smooth.  Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.  Add vanilla.  Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in chocolate chips and mint chips.  Drop large spoonfuls onto cookie shoot lined with parchment paper.  Bake for 10-14 minutes.

*I skipped the mint chips and instead stuffed one piece of Andes chocolate inside each cookie.
