  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing each before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the mint chocolate chips and optional green food coloring.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
  2. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days, or freeze for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore texture.
