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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 5
Mix in the mint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring (if using) until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 8
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. 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 lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your minty, chocolatey cookies with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
