These are great cookies to have around the house when someone wants a little chocolate fix. They are super original and cool because of their green color and the chocolate is definitely much stronger than the mint flavor which I love. However, if you want more mint, feel free to add a bit more of the peppermint extract until it is at your desired taste.
You can really do so much with these, it is crazy! Add nuts, white chocolate, lots of different types of candy such as M&M’s. You cannot go wrong with these.
Check out what our friends over at Little Dairy on the Prairie had to say about this:
“Melt in your mouth sugar cookies filled with irresistible mint chips! Sure to please a crowd and thankfully are quicker than decorating traditional sugar cookies.”
They are definitely much easier than traditional sugar cookies and that much more delicious, too!
