Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF + HCLF)

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies (HCLF + GF) - FeastingonFruit.com

I got a request for a mint recipe, and wouldn’t you know I happened to have a sad-looking, 5-day old bunch of mint in the fridge. Why let it just wilt away when there are cookie possibilities?

This bunch of mint had quite an exciting week last week. On Monday it went into a bliss ball recipe for an exciting collaborative cookbook project! #VeganFriendsCookbook On Tuesday it went into this cucumber mint smoothie that I posted on Instagram (recipe courtesy of Curls’n’Chard). And on Saturday the slightly limp remains went into these gluten and oil free Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies!

The texture can only be described as pillowy…or cake-like. Pillowy or cake-like, one of those two words. Unless you want to call them chocolate mint bliss, I’m okay with that too.

I bumped up the mint flavor with a teaspoon of mint extract. I don’t usually like minty desserts that are only made with fresh mint. They taste a little too…leafy for me. I want that cool kick of mint that a little bit of mint extract is VERY good at delivering! Mint extract is the epitome of “A little bit goes a long way”.

Fun fact: Did you know that if you stick your finger in the mint extract (accidentally of course) it will experience that chilly sensation too. The same thing works on your foot if you spill it all over the floor and then step in it (this time is really was accidental).

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 2/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tsp mint extract
  • 1 batch of HCLF Chocolate Bits (or 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Blend the banana, coconut sugar, non-dairy milk, mint leaves, and mint extract until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.
  4. Add the wet mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Gently fold in the Chocolate Bits. If it seems to liquidy to spoon onto the pan, let it sit for 5 minutes or so. The oat flour will absorb water and thicken the batter.
  6. Spoon onto a cookie sheet. Top with an extra sprinkle of Chocolate Bits to make them look pretty. Press them in lightly
  7. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until the bottom edges are just starting to brown.
  8. Cool, then devour!

Anyways, these sound wonderful and obviously look delicious! I’m a bit of a cookie monster 🙂 I love the short ingredient list and I really need to make those chocolate bits of yours! YUM!

      I just went and checked out your recipe, and I want to trade! Your stack of fudgy goodness looks awesome! I usually just use mint extract too, I actually prefer the flavor but I feel like I should like the fresh stuff so I’m trying to change my minty perceptions 😀 haha Thank you Nicola!

    These look amazing!!! Can’t wait to make them for Christmas. I’ll also be making your banana bread 🙂 I might substitute the oat flour in the cookies with regular all purpose flour – do you think that will still be good? I don’t want it to make too much of a difference, whaddya think?

      December 19, 2015 at 11:47 pm

      That sounds great, two of my favorites! And yes the all purpose flour will be just fine in the cookies, might have an even better texture actually 🙂 Enjoy, and merry Christmas!

    I’ve always been afraid that recipes with mint extract would come out tasting like toothpaste 😅 Thanks for proving my fears wrong with this recipe! These cookies are delicately sweet, chewy, and leave your mouth feeling minty fresh without any of that gross toothpaste taste 😂 They took about double the baking time listed to brown at the edges but still came out great! Thanks again for creating such wonderful vegan recipes.

      Haha I understand that fear, but I am so happy you took the chance and they turned out so yummy🤗😋 Interesting on the baking time, not sure why there was such a disparity. Perhaps I just like mine very soft and fudgy. I am so happy you liked them, thanks for the feedback and happy holidays❤️

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
