Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are vibrant green, reminiscent of four-leaf clovers, and packed with delightful chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness. Paired with a tall glass of milk, they make the perfect treats for any St. Patrick’s Day celebration or virtual gathering.
To begin the recipe, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, mix together butter, sugar, eggs, green food coloring, and peppermint extract for that refreshing mint taste. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients well, then combine both mixtures.
Stir in the chocolate chips into the cookie batter. Scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 11-14 minutes, or until the cookies’ edges turn a light brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
With plenty of mixing and scooping involved, this recipe is a fantastic way for kids to join in the kitchen fun. One of the highlights is the striking green color. Watch as their faces light up when the batter changes from a light brown to a deep green—it’s a delightful sight.
After baking to perfection, these cookies are bright, cheerful, and sure to be a hit at any festivity. They are soft in the center, slightly crisp at the edges, and are as green as can be. You can’t ask for much more on St. Patrick’s Day.
