Instructions
-Preheat oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit.

-Beat in the cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla, and canola oil until well combined.
-Slowly beat in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and mix until just combined.
-Gently beat in the mint candy chips until thoroughly combined.
-Use a cookie scoop (or your hands) to roll the dough into golf ball-sized cookies and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets (16 per sheet).
-Bake in a preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, rotating the cookie sheets halfway through the baking.
-Remove the baked cookies to a wire rack to completely cool before drizzling them with chocolate.
-In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet morsels and the shortening on LOW heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted.
-Use a fork (or place the melted chocolate in a piping bag), and drizzle the cooled cookies with the melted chocolate.
