unless you want whatever you are baking to taste of mint, no. that is why it is called mint extract, because it is minty, but vanilla extract is vanilla tasting.
This is more of a matter of taste I'd say, however, I'd suggest using Mint Extract in place of the normal vanilla. Vanilla extract is called for in most chocolate cake recipes, it enhances the chocolate flavoring, to make a mint cake, just substitute a mint extract for the vanilla.
The only flavoring used in the standard white filling is vanilla extract, just use real vanilla instead of vanillin. If you want mint flavor instead use real mint. And so forth. There is no problem.
Vanilla extract can be replaced by almond, anise, mint, lemon or any other flavoring of your choosing. You also can leave out the flavoring or extract entirely. In that case, the cookies will be butter-flavored.
I cannot give you a substitute for that, but I say find another chocolate mint mousse recipe that does not have chocolate extract. I think a regular chocolate mousse recipes & with the addition of mint extract would do the trick. Try all recipes dot com for a basic chocolate mousse recipe.
butter extract is a flavoring, you can use other flavorings like lemon, almond , mint etc. but your recipe will TASTE different
I have used rum extract, almond extract, anise extract, and a bit of whiskey or vodka, or nothing at all, in place of vanilla in many different recipes including frosting. All without substantially causing a failure in the recipe. [The peppermint frosting went on chocolate cupcakes.] The vanilla is only to give the frosting a flavor other than just bland. Experiment at will.

I had the same question and didn't find an answer so I just guessed. I'm making mint chocolate chip gelato and the recipe calls for 2 cups of mint. I have peppermint extract on hand so I substituted 2 tsp of extract . I think it turned out good for my taste.
If you extracted it from fresh mint sure!
To make mint extract at home, steep fresh mint leaves in vodka for about 4-6 weeks, then strain out the leaves. Store the extract in a dark bottle in a cool, dark place.
