One of my friends (and now classmates!), Sasha, had a birthday yesterday! Since we had a long day of student teaching and then classes of our own, I knew she was going to need some treats to keep the day fun. One of her favorite cookie recipes is the Post Punk Kitchen’s Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, and one of my favorite kinds of cookies is my friend Sonja’s Mint Chocolate Cookies, so I decided to meld the two together and create Chewy Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I used the PPK’s recipe (which is simple and quick!), and instead of 2 teaspoons of vanilla I used only 1 teaspoon vanilla and added 1 1/2 teaspoons of mint extract to the batter. The cookies are dark and chewy just as promised, with a strong hit of mint. They are not quite as thick as Sonja’s cookies but to my memory, they taste just as good. Mmm. They were eaten with gusto by many of our classmates and professors, and I got a big grin and hug from Sasha – which was definitely the biggest incentive for making them!
Cookies and Candids 
Sasha definitely approves these cookies!!
oh my gosh that is the cutest picture!!!

happy birthday day Sascha!
The photo doesn’t look like a photo. How’d you do it…
You got my mouth watering across the world.
It’s hard to find cookies when you don’t pay for food or have an oven. ugh…
How lovely! This looks like a gift that anyone would be happy to receive. 🙂
If your baking wasn’t so fantastic, and I didn’t think you’d be an incredible teacher, I’d suggest a career as a food photographer!
So many compliments! Thanks everyone! Sasha and Sonja were both great inspirations for these cookies 🙂
Lovely package! Thjis sounds like a wonderful new cookie.
These look awesome! I love the presentation.
