Ingredients

3/4 cup salted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp mint flavoring*
Green food coloring
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chip

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg, vanilla extract, mint flavoring, and green food coloring. Mix until fully combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
Gently fold in your favorite chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 Tablespoon portions (a #40 cookie scoop works well) and place them on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, a silicone mat, or left ungreased.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

*If you cannot find Mint Extract, it is a 50/50 ratio of Peppermint and Spearmint.
