Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 9 Thin Mint cookies or any mint chocolate wafer cookie + 2 more for optional topping
  • ¼ teaspoon flaked salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease an aluminum loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients to remove any lumps. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and peppermint extract using an electric hand mixer on medium/low speed.
  • In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth. Set aside.
  • Crack the eggs into the bowl with the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until well combined.
  • Add the melted chocolate chips to the butter mixture and mix on low until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the flour and cocoa powder mixture to the chocolate mixture. Mix on low until combined.
  • Pour half of the brownie batter into the greased loaf pan. Arrange 9 Thin Mint cookies on top of the batter.
  • Pour the remaining batter over the cookies. Optionally, sprinkle 2 coarsely chopped Thin Mints on top.
  • Bake the brownies at 350ºF for 22-25 minutes*.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing them.

Notes

  • Bake time may vary depending on your oven. Remember, these brownies should be fudgy in the middle, so avoid overbaking.
  • Using an electric hand mixer helps ensure a smooth batter.
  • Use an aluminum loaf pan, not ceramic or glass.
  • Parchment paper in the pan can make cleanup a breeze!
