Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until blended.
  4. Fold in the chopped fresh mint into the sugar mixture.
  5. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually add to the wet mixture.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
