How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring until the dough is a vibrant green.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of crème de menthe baking chips and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
