Mint Chip Cookies


These Taste Just Like Mint Chip Ice Cream!




Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Mint Extract (not peppermint)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Green Food Coloring
  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp. Cream of Tarter
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1 Cup Andes Cream de Menthe Baking Chips
  • 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips


Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉
  2. Cream Butter and sugar until fluffy. 
  3. Add eggs, 5-10 drops of food coloring, and mint extract. Mix well for about 2 mins. Add more food coloring if needed, the color will lighten when dry ingredients are added. 
  4. In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Sift into wet ingredients a little at a time. Mix until combined. 
  5. Add the mint and chocolate chips and stir until incorporated. 
  6. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicon mats. Drop cookies using a cookie scoop or about 1 1/2 table spoon size balls. 
  7. Bake for 8-10 mins. Watch for them to start cracking and then remove from oven. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes to set. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling. 
  8. Enjoy within 4-5 days! Yum!

Tips/Variations:
  • You can put these in the freezer once baked and cooled to save for a special occasion. These are best if frozen in an air tight container for up to a month. 
  • These are great any time of the year but great for Christmas or St. Patrick's Day because they are green. 
  • Make these into an ice cream sandwich with one scoop of vanilla ice cream between for a cool treat. Or break into pieces over a bowl of ice cream.
