Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring (if using) until the color is evenly distributed.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
5
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.
6
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly 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 chocolate chunks instead of chips?

Yes, chocolate chunks work beautifully and can provide a more varied texture and chocolate distribution in the cookies. You can also use white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.

How do I store these cookies?

Store cooled 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 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Why are my cookies spreading too much?

Cookies can spread if the butter is too warm, if there's too little flour, or if the oven temperature is too low. Ensure your butter is softened, not melted, and consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking if spreading is an issue.
