These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are vibrant green, reminiscent of four-leaf clovers, and are filled with delightful chocolate chips that enhance their sweet flavor. Perfectly paired with a large glass of milk, they make ideal treats for any St. Patrick’s Day celebration or online gathering.
To begin the recipe, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a different bowl, mix together softened butter, sugar, eggs, green food coloring, and peppermint extract for that refreshing minty taste. Use a hand mixer to blend these ingredients, then combine the two mixtures together.
Fold chocolate chips into the cookie batter. Drop scoops of the dough onto a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 11 to 14 minutes until the edges turn a light golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before enjoying them.
This recipe involves plenty of mixing and scooping, making it a fantastic choice for kids to participate in the kitchen. A highlight is their stunning color change; kids will love to see the batter transform from light brown to a deep green, capturing their joy.
Once baked to perfection, these cookies are bright, cheerful, and sure to be a favorite at any festivity. They have a soft center with a slight crispness at the edges, embodying the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.
