Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter not margarine
  • 1¼ cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon mint extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 ounces Andes baking chips or chocolate chips
  • Green food coloring optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla, mint, and food coloring (if desired) and beat with a mixer on medium speed until well blended.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well.
  • Add flour mixture and beat slowly until fully combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough with a cookie scoop and drop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat, making sure cookies are at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in a 325°F oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. Middles will still look under-done. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • natural food coloring will brown in the oven
