Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are so good!! I love mint chocolate chip ice cream and so when I saw these listed on a recipe website, I had to try them. The original recipe comes from a Betty Crocker recipe for their sugar cookie (yes I said sugar cookie) mix. I just took the changes and added them to my favorite GF sugar cookie recipe and they turned out delicious. I had several requests for the recipe.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Use your favorite GF sugar cookie recipe or use my favorite found here.

Additional ingredients:

1/4 tsp peppermint extract
6-8 drops green food coloring (optional)
1 cup creme de menthe baking chips (I used Andes brand)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I prefer Hershey's chocolate chips)

1. Follow your recipe as normal except add the mint extract to the wet ingredients.
2. After combining wet and dry ingredients, mix in food coloring.
3. Once your dough is finished, fold in the creme de menthe and semisweet chocolate chips.
4. Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. I flattened the cookies with the palm of my hand since sugar cookies don't spread like other cookies.
5. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. The smaller ones I baked took 8 and the larger ones took 10 minutes. They were done when the tops held their shape when lightly pressed.
