- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp mint extract
- A few drops of green food coloring
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- 3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and mint extracts.
- 4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to your creamed butter mixture until just combined.
- 5. Add Color and Chocolate Chips: Stir in green food coloring until you achieve your desired hue. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- 6. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes or until set but still slightly soft in the center.
- 7. Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
