Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Large Egg room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 2 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Gel Green Food Coloring
- 12 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Beat together the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl with either a hand-held or stand-up mixer until the mixture is light in color.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time and continue to beat until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the peppermint extract and green gel food coloring and continue to beat until well incorporated. (Two drops of gel food coloring should be plenty to get a nice green shade, if you are using regular food coloring you will need slightly more to get the desired shade).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips being careful not to over mix the dough.
- Drop the cookie batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets using a large cookie scoop.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are puffy and spring back slightly when touched.
- Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Then enjoy!
