Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4–6 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or mint chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, and ¾ cup (165g) brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon peppermint extract. If desired, add 4-6 drops of green food coloring.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Use a spatula to gently fold in 1 ½ cups (270g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips or mint chips.
  7. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just set. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Use room-temperature ingredients for better texture.’, ‘Pull cookies out when edges are set but centers are soft; they will firm up as they cool.’, ‘Experiment with flavors like orange extract or almond extract for a twist.’]
