A Recipe for Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Courtesy of Culinary.net, these Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are as vibrant as a clover field and filled with tantalizing chocolate chips to enhance their sweetness. With a large glass of milk next to them, these cookies are perfect for a St. Patrick’s day party or a virtual gathering.
To kick off the recipe, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a different bowl, throw in butter, sugar, eggs, green food coloring, and peppermint extract for that amazing minty taste. Using a hand mixer, thoroughly blend the ingredients in both bowls together.
Next, fold in chocolate chips into the well-mixed cookie dough. Place dollops of dough onto a baking sheet and put them into the oven, preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave them to bake for about 11 to 14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn light brown. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack before enjoying.
This recipe involves a lot of stirring and scooping, making it a fun experience for kids to participate in. The moment the batter changes from light brown to a rich green, it never fails to bring a wide smile on the faces of these little chefs.
After baking to perfection, these cookies sport a bright and exciting look and are sure to steal the show at any event. Soft on the inside, yet with a slight crunch on the outside, and as green as possible – it is indeed a special treat for St. Patrick’s Day.
