These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies boast a green hue reminiscent of four-leaf clovers, with scrumptious chocolate chips scattered throughout, adding a rich sweetness. Paired with a tall glass of milk, they make for ideal treats at any St. Patrick’s Day festivity or virtual get-together.
To begin, blend together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a different bowl, combine butter, sugar, eggs, green food coloring, and peppermint extract to achieve that refreshing minty taste. Use a hand mixer to blend these ingredients before incorporating the contents of both bowls together.
Stir chocolate chips into the cookie batter. Place spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake at 375 F for 11-14 minutes until the cookie edges are a light golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
The process involves ample mixing and scooping, making it a wonderful activity to engage children in the kitchen. One delightful aspect is the vibrant color transformation. Watch kids’ faces light up as the dough shifts from light brown to deep green, providing a delightful reaction.
Once perfectly baked, these cookies are vibrant, entertaining, and sure to be a standout at any gathering. They are soft in the center with slightly crispy edges, and as green as one could wish. They are the ideal addition to a St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
