Cool, refreshing cookies with decadent chocolate chips all in this chewy Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. Perfect for Mint Chocolate lovers!
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
I did warn you I was going a little crazy with the mint, yes? This recipe shouldn’t be a surprise to you! While I’ve been playing with mint, I decided to use it in my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe to get these AH-mazing Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. Seriously so good. Sweet, chewy, and minty with the decadent, bitter note of chocolate chips. Yum.
For these cookies, I used half chocolate chips and half Andes Menthe Baking Chips (you can grab those HERE on Amazon), but you can use one or the other, or both, like me. They’ll turn out delicious no matter what kind of chip you use!

February 26, 2017 at 5:26 pmGreetings. I tried this recipe and had a few observations. The recipe calls for salt though it doesn’t say when to add the salt so I assumed you add it to the flour and baking soda mixture in step 1 as I would normally do for other recipes. I also didn’t see what you add to the recipe to make the cookies green/mint colored. Thanks!
