- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- Mint Buttercream Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition
Stir in the vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined
Fold in the chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips
Scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
For the Mint Buttercream Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy
Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth and fluffy
Stir in the peppermint extract and milk until the frosting reaches your desired consistency
If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a minty green color
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread or pipe the Mint Buttercream Frosting onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie
Repeat until all cookies are sandwiched with the delicious buttercream
Enjoy your Mint Chocolate Chip Buttercream Brownie Cookies!
