Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
2
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using) until well combined and the color is even.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
4
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
5
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use natural food coloring?

Yes, you can use natural green food coloring (e.g., from spinach powder or spirulina) or omit it entirely if you prefer not to use artificial colors. The flavor will remain the same.

How do I store these cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months.

My cookies spread too much. What went wrong?

This can happen if your butter was too soft (or melted), or if your oven temperature was too low. Ensure butter is just softened, not melted. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can also help prevent excessive spreading.
