Do you ever make something and wonder how you never made it before?  Yeah that’s the case with these cookies.  I love mint chocolate chip and can’t believe that I haven’t ever made cookies with mint chocolate chip before!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are colorful and fun!

Since St. Patrick’s Day is only a few days away I knew I had to make these cookies and fast!  These cookies are easy to make.  It’s just like making a chocolate chip cookie except you put a little bit of mint in it, add some food coloring, and add mint and dark chocolate chips.  That’s it!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made a batch of these for the kids at school and they thought they were great.  They really liked that the cookies were green.  They kept calling them leprechaun cookies and I thought that was a good name for them.   The cookie is bright green, has subtle mint flavor, and is studded with mint and dark chocolate chips.   I actually found a bag that had this combination in it together!   If you can’t find the combination, simply buy two separate bags.
