There is something about the way the chocolate and mint flavors blend that makes this a unique and tasty treat. There is a little Greek yogurt in this recipe which makes the cookie ridiculously soft and moist. And, compared to other cookie recipes, there is less sugar. It's a true trifecta!

-
1 Cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
-
½ Cup sugar
-
½ Cup, brown sugar, packed

While these are delicious the first day, we think they are even better on day two! Something about letting them cool completely and giving the ingredients extra time to complement each other makes a delicious difference.
