Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is just a simple chocolate chip cookie, with the addition of mint extract and green food coloring. These are delicious and fun for the holidays.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 sticks of butter
¾-cup granulated sugar
¾-cup brown sugar
1-teaspoon mint extract
2 eggs (use pasteurized eggs if want to lick the spoon/bowls)
2 1/4 cups flour
1-teaspoon baking soda
½ -teaspoon salt
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Mix butter, sugars, eggs and mint extract in a large bowl
Slowly add flour, baking soda, and salt
Stir in chocolate chips
Drop by spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheets
Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown

Yield varies widely depending on how big the cookies are and how much dough is eaten, during preparation. :)

Another option is to use 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and 6 ounces of mint chips, instead of the mint extract.

The green food coloring is optional, but extra fun for the holidays.
