Chocolate Mint Cookies

Made these chocolate chip mint cookies for St. Patrick's Day (inspired by this post) & I think it will be a yearly thing. I'd love to add a few fun traditions like this to the small holidays.



I just followed the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag (technically I made a half batch because we were low on butter) ~ just add 1 tsp. peppermint extract & a whole lot of green food coloring and they taste like soft Thin Mints! Next time I might use a sugar cookie recipe like in the link since these got so browned around the edges.
