¹/₂ cup brown sugar, packed
¹/₂ cup sugar or Sucanat
1 egg or equal amount Egg Replacer
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 ¹/₂ cups unbleached white flour
¹/₄ cup unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder (if using carob powder consider reducing the amount sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350°.

Cream margarine and sugars together with an electric mixer on high speed setting. Beat in the egg or egg substitute, and stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt, then stir in the sugar/margarine mixture and the chocolate chips, and mix together thoroughly.
