These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are as vibrant as four-leaf clovers, with scrumptious chocolate chips blended throughout for added sweetness. Paired with a tall glass of milk, they make an excellent dessert for any St. Patrick’s Day festivity or online gathering.
To begin, mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine butter, sugar, eggs, green food dye, and peppermint extract for that refreshing mint taste. Use a hand mixer to blend and then mix both sets of ingredients together.
Fold in chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture. Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 11-14 minutes until the cookies’ edges turn a light golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack prior to enjoying.
This recipe involves a good amount of mixing and scooping, making it ideal for bringing kids into the kitchen. One of the highlights is the visually pleasing color. Kids’ faces will light up as the dough transforms from light brown to a deep green, providing a memorable experience.
