These cookies rounded out the menu for an Ice Cream Sundae Dessert Bar at a church dinner I catered. For variety, I decided to provide both sugar cookies and chocolate cookies, so I used a recipe for Favorite Drop Sugar Cookies by What A Dish! and Chocolate Mint Cookies from Allrecipes.com. Both recipes are spectacular, but the sugar cookies were the first to disappear!
For the sugar cookies, I added one tablespoon of milk and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, subbed unbleached flour for the whole wheat pastry flour (I did not have it or I would have used it!), and I sprinkled sugar on top before I baked them. I used a large ice cream scoop and made giant cookies, which were tender and chewy on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. They lent a wonderfully fragrant, sugary smell to the kitchen while they were baking!
For the chocolate mint cookies, I added a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter, and I mixed in a package of Nestle's Dark Chocolate and Mint Morsels instead of placing a mint on top after they baked. These cookies are richly chocolate with the perfect touch of mint. My attempt to show the wonderfully fudgy, brownie-like interior is inadequate. For the dessert bar, I named them Brown Sugar Chocolate Mint cookies. ;)

It's just after 4 a.m. here. I want these cookies for breakfast!
Oh! And love the new look of your blog. Very festive looking!
Recipes? These look so delicious!
Never mind- got the links LOL!!!
Oooh, what a fun idea to use a giant ice cream scoop for those cookies! I have a large scoop and don't use it much. Adding milk must make them spread a little more, (in a good way) like in your pics. I love the looks of them!
I rove sugar cookies. :-)
I'm a sucker for chocolate and mint together, so I would definitely choose that cookie for my sundae. It looks delicious!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope you keep coming back. : )

oooo boy! Do these look great!
Ok, I could devour both of them easily, but mint is one of my favorite flavors - and that mint one is really calling out my name!
chocolate and vanilla - perfect mix. Both cookies look fantastic!
Thanks to everyone for visiting!
