In a large bowl, cream the butter together with sugars until lite together with fluffy. Beat inwards the extract. Taste together with add together additional extract to sense of savour every bit needed. Add the eggs together with nutrient coloring together with combine thoroughly.

* I bet you lot could simply finely chop about Andes mints together with they'd function fine but I haven't tried this myself. Let me know if you lot practise together with how it turns out!

My thoughts:

I saw a recipe for mint chocolate chip cookies on the Betty Crocker website that looked similar fun but they called for a carbohydrate cookie mix. Cookies are hence slow together with role such basic ingredients, I idea I'd endure inwards myself from scratch.

Dying the cookies a minty greenish is of course of education totally unnecessary but it's the holidays together with it calls to heed a large scoop of chocolate mint H2O ice cream hence why not? It too makes them stand upward out on a cookie tray hence they don't endure false for a apparently chocolate chip cookie.

As these cookies direct keep both peppermint extract and creme de menthe bits, these are definitely cookies for the mint lover. The nighttime chocolate chips temper it a combat together with orbit the cookies a bigger depth of flavor.
