Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 ⅓ tsp Corn Starch
  • 1 ¼ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup or, 1 1/2 sticks of Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 6 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 tsp Mint Extract
  • 1½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 cup Chocolate Drops

For the Chocolate Dip and Garnish:

  • 6 ounces Chocolate Drops
  • 1/2 tsp Canola Oil
  • 1 Crushed Lollipop

Instructions
 

  • Gather all the ingredients in preparation for your baking session.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, corn starch, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients until well incorporated.
  • In a separate, smaller bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Then, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and mint extract, stirring until the mixture is well blended.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture into the butter mixture, making sure they are thoroughly combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate drops into the dough. Once combined, allow the dough to cool for about 1 hour.
  • While the dough is cooling, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • After the dough has cooled, shape it into cookies and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 9-12 minutes until the cookies are set around the edges.
  • While the cookies are cooling after baking, prepare the chocolate dip. Melt the chocolate drops and mix in the canola oil for a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, then sprinkle the dipped part with the crushed lollipop. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
