Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 165 grams light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 340 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams mint chocolate chips
- 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract and peppermint extract. If you want a festive green color, add the green food coloring now and mix until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake each sheet for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, while the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
