  3. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth.
  4. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  5. Add the flour, baking soda, mint and cocoa powder and mix well.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Refrigerate dough at least one hour.

Notes

I prefer to bake with dried mint and use fresh mint in drinks and for cooking. Drying the mint is easy and can be done quickly. See info on drying mint.
