These delectable homemade cookies combine the refreshing flavor of mint with the sweetness of chocolate chips.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup packed brown sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 teaspoon peppermint extract. 3 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped fresh mint leaves. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
