Green Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

"I got this recipe in my e-mail from a Betty Crocker mailing, and it was a 2010 prize-winning recipe. The cookie dough is tinted green, so they are great for St. Patrick's Day or a holiday tray."

  1. We really enjoyed these soft, minty cookies. I could not find creme de menthe chips or chocolate chunks in my local stores, but I did find Hershey's chocolate mint chips so used 2 cups of those instead. I also used mint extract since we don't think it tastes like toothpaste, LOL. These are very pretty cookies and I plan to add them to my Christmas cookie list.
     
  2. These were really good! I surprised my kids with them for St Patrick's Day and they were a big hit with everyone in the family. Thanks for an easy 1-2-3 recipe!

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
