Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies (a recipe)
14 years ago
Aside from all of my sewing and soapmaking lately, I've been dabbling in baking, as well. Here's a recipe that I finally got right last night. And it's excellent for masking any undesirable flavors. The best I've found, in fact.
1/2 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened. (I used some homemade butter)
1 cup packed golden brown sugar
2 lg eggs
3 tbsp milk or water (I used milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp mint extract
10 drops food coloring of your choice (green is pretty)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup Andes creme de menthe chips (Walmart carries these right now)
Preheat oven to 275f. Mix butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, milk or water, vanilla, mint extract, and food coloring. Mix in flour, soda, and salt until incorporated. Mix in chocolate chips and creme de menhe chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons 1 1/2" apart on greased baking sheet (or silpat). Bake 11-12 minutes, until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes and remove to racks.
Makes about 50 cookies.

FA+

BUT I KNOW you mean something different than raw milk butter
I might steal this recipe for some tame cookies... my hubby and I are mint fiends, almost as bad as our pumpkin addiction! ;)
