I'm always excited about eating cookies around the holidays! My personal favorite desserts have both chocolate and mint in them and I couldn't find a cookie recipe I really liked. So, I made this recipe (and tested it about 30 times :D). I prefer a thick cakey cookie (almost like a brownie). If you like a more thin cookie, don't melt the butter and use regular flour instead of cake flower. You can also substitute more butter for the shortening if you can't find it or like a more thin cookie.
This is my version of a popular scouting cookie. Instead of thin and crispy, these are thick and chewy!
