Minty Dark Chocolate Oat Cookies
#WCD
Dark chocolate is my favourite and I wanted to make some healthy sweets with dark chocolate to celebrate the coming chocolate day. So I made these healthy oat cookies with dark chocolate and mint. The flavour of mint and dark chocolate is heavenly. I simply like that flavour. I used homemade dry mint powder to add the minty flavour to the cookies. They are really very delightful and healthy sweet with a little bitter taste from the dark chocolate. If you don't like the bitterness of dark chocolate, you can use milk chocolate instead.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Sieve together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder& soda in a big mixing bowl.
* Step 3
In another mixing bowl, add soft butter and brown sugar and beat with a hand mixer until fluffy.
* Step 4
Add in eggs, vanilla essence, mint powder and mix. For mint powder I sun dried some cleaned mint leaves and then grinded to make coarse powder.
* Step 5
Add in flour mixture, rolled oats and mix well to form soft dough like consistency.
* Step 6
Take a big piece of cooking dark chocolate and cut in small pieces to make 1/2 cup. You can also use dark chocolate chips instead. Or if you don't like dark chocolate, you can use milk chocolate or chips.
* Step 7
Lightly fold these chocolate pieces to the cookie mixture.
* Step 8
Keep this cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. It will help to give the shape of the cookies easily.
* Step 9
Preheat oven at 170 degree C for 10 minutes.
* Step 10
Line a baking tray with baking paper or sheet.
* Step 11
Take out the cookie mixture from the refrigerator. Take a lemon size portion of the mixture, roll in between your palms and press it lightly to give cookie shape.
* Step 12
Place it in the baking tray. Make all the cookies like this and place in the tray with 2 inch gap between each cookie.
* Step 13
Bake them in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a nice aroma of chocolate emits. The cookies will be soft when hot. They will be firm after cooling. So don't overbake them to make them firm.
* Step 14
Allow it to cool for few minutes. Transfer on wire rack or on cool surface and cool completely.
* Step 15
Delicious, healthy and flavourful minty dark chocolate oats cookies are ready now to enjoy. See the texture of the cookie. Soft from inside with little crunch from outside.
* Step 16
They can be easily stored in air tight container for about 10 days.
