Green Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft, chewy, and loaded with choc chips, these mint chocolate chip cookies are the perfect mix of sweet and refreshing. A splash of mint extract and a little green food colouring make them ideal for holidays, dessert tables, or just because you feel like eating green cookies.

Note: normally I provide both the weighted measurements and cups/spoons, however, as baking requirements more precision, I have opted to include grams where required.

Ingredients

125 g butter, room temperature, subs note 1
50 g white sugar, see note 2
100 g brown sugar, see note 2
1 ½ teaspoon mint extract, adjust per preferences
½ teaspoon green food colouring, optional
1 egg, room temperature
225 g flour
150 g chocolate chips, dark or milk

Instructions

Beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add the mint extract, green food colouring, and egg, mixing until smooth.
Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly. Leaving a few to add to the top. For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes to help it hold its shape.
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough, place on a lined baking tray, and space them a few centimetres apart. Add extra chocolate chips on top (crowd them as they spread out when cooking)
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the centres stay soft. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Note 1 - Butter

Substitutions margarine or nuttelex

Note 2 - Sugars

You can use one sugar or the other, but it will change the texture.

White sugar helps cookies spread, making them crispier.

Brown sugar is more moist which adds a softness to the cookies while keeping them thick.

Adjusting the ratio of the sugars can help you customise the texture and flavour to your liking.
