MINTY GREEN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Yield: 18 to 20 cookies – Prep time: 20 minutes

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED :
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract or emulsion
  • 3 – 6 drops green food dye or gel (or, until you reach your desired shade of green)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line two cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth; add both sugars until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then add egg, extract and food dye, until incorporated. Slowly, add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until a sticky dough is formed.

Fold in chocolate chips. Drop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough on to the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for approximately 12 -14 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow cookies to set on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a flat surface or wire rack until cool.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
