It’s that time of year again – Christmas cookie baking season! One of my all-time favorite flavor combos is mint and chocolate… I mean, what’s not to love? Cool, refreshing mint with sweet, rich chocolate. Yum!
I discovered this super easy recipe for mint chocolate chip cookies last year, and I don’t even know how many batches I’ve made. They’re incredible! I haven’t made many changes to the recipe, but I did kick the mint up a little! So do yourself a favor, and make these cookies!
Ingredients:
- 1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp mint extract
- 12 drops green food color
- 1 egg
- 1 package mint and chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, mix butter, egg, mint extract, food color, and cookie mix until a soft dough forms. Stir in the mint and chocolate chips. Use two tablespoons to drop dough 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 17-20 minutes or until they start to brown. Serve warm or cool completely; store in a tightly covered container at room temperature.
I made two batches of these the other night to send to Radar’s crew with their skull caps (tutorial to come). I know they’ll love them, and it will start to get them into the Christmas spirit even though they’re halfway around the world.
It was really hard to not eat the cookies myself!
