Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure mint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 drops green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the mint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring (if using) until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. 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 lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your minty, chocolatey cookies with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
