Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Step 2

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.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips using a spatula.

Step 8

Scoop out dough balls of about 2 tablespoons each and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy these chewy mint chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!
