I was at the store with my Mom and we ran across the limited edition Dark Chocolate and Mint Morsels by Nestle Toll House. It was just a matter of saying "Hey Mom, check these out" and getting a response of "Put them in the cart." I decided to make the Mint Chocolate Delight recipe on the back of the package. It's like their normal chocolate chip recipe, except there is cocoa powder in the batter and the chocolate chips are a combination of dark chocolate chips and mint flavored chips.
I started baking them off and remembered why I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate cookies. The love part is simply that I love chocolate cookies. The hate part is that they are more difficult to tell when they are done cooking since you can't look for the golden brown color that you get with normal chocolate chip cookies. This is compounded for me by the fact that my oven is very temperamental and does not always have the correct temperature, so cooking time is always a game of guess and check for me.
With all of that being said, the only problem I had was with the smaller bite sized cookies. The package indicated that bite sized cookies could be made and I gave them a shot. However, they came out a little bit burnt on the bottom, because my oven doesn't like me. The normal sized ones, on the other hand, came out perfectly and taste like a thin mint cookie disguised as a chocolate chip cookie. I will definitely be looking for these chips again.
