Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Slowly add in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped mint leaves until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Lightly press down on each cookie with a fork to flatten them slightly.
9. In a small bowl, mix together a few tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Brush this mixture onto the tops of each cookie.
10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Optional: sprinkle some extra chopped mint leaves on top of the cookies for a pop of color and extra mint flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and unique mint chocolate chip cookies. They will have a hint of savory flavor from the olive oil and a touch of warmth from the cinnamon, making them the perfect treat for any occasion.
