Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 5 drops green food coloring
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop out dough balls of about 2 tablespoons each and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these chewy mint chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!
