My love affair with mint continues with Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is a unique twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. I added the green food coloring simply because it looks really cool!
I also like to add a little more mint (cause why not?) by incorporating some quality chopped mint chocolate in place of regular old plain chocolate chips.
I even went absolutely crazy and put some Fresh Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in between some of the cookies and made double mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches.
If you love mint like I do and you love cookies (who doesn’t love cookies), then go ahead and give this bad boy a try. You won’t regret it.

Can these be made with other chips having a hard time finding mint chocolate chips?
Absolutely, you can sub regular chocolate. The cookies themselves are chock full of mint.
I love the combination of mint and chocolate.. and I especially love Lindt’s dark mint bar! So these cookies are just ideal for me. I can imagine how good they tasted!
Thanks Thalia, I am also a huge fan of mint and chocolate! BTW, I love your new site, looks amazing!!
