Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 7, 2017 by Amber 12 Comments

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are a deliciously fun treat made with basic baking ingredients, peppermint extract, chocolate chunks and Andes chocolate mints. 

Saint Patrick’s Day is around the corner and green is on the mind. Green cupcakes, green pancakes, green drinks and of course, green cookies. It is just so much fun to get in the spirit of the holiday and do something special for (or with) the kids and food is a big part celebrating holidays in my family.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are a cake-like cookie that is buttery and soft. What makes these cookies special isn’t the vibrant green color though, it’s the minty flavors inside and chunks of sweet chocolate. Each bite is comforting but also refreshing which is a pretty good mix in my book!

Food Coloring

The vibrant green color in these cookies come from food coloring. If you are one of those people who don’t like consuming food coloring, you can certainly leave it out and the cookies will be just as delicious. If you want the great green coloring, I recommend using a forest green for the best green hue. Icing coloring is another great choice because it is more concentrated meaning you will need less of it.

    I am one of those who would leave out the food coloring, but bake them just as you did. A perfect snack for after school. Thanks!
