Method

Step 1.

Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2.

In double boiler over medium-low heat, melt dark chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.

Step 3.

Using electric mixer, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed to low; beat in eggs, mint extract and melted chocolate. Stir in flour mixture, mixing just until blended. Fold in mint chocolate chunks. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 4.

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, onto prepared baking sheets.

Step 5.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cookie tops are set. Let cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely.
