If you like mint this is your lucky day. This cookie is so full of win! You will savor every bite. I found it on the Betty Crocker website in their cookie index. I wanted something that reminded me of the holidays, and I love that you can still see bits of the candy cane Hershey Kiss in the cookie.
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe:
- 1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix 1.5oz
- 1/2 cup one stick of butter (melted)
- 1 egg
- 6-8 drops of green food coloring
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
- 20 Candy Cane Hershey Kisses (unwrapped & chopped)
The original recipe called for mint extract, but I couldn't find any. Instead I melted butter and added 4 of the Candy Cane Hershey Kisses. That became mint butter & acted as the mint extract. In a large bowl I mixed together cookie mix, mint butter, food coloring, and egg until a soft dough formed. Then I stirred in the chocolate chunks and peppermint kisses.
The dough was sticky, so I used two spoons to drop it onto the ungreased cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they set. I let them cool then removed the cookies from the cookie sheet to a wire rack. They can be served warm or cooled completely. Store tightly covered at room temperature. For a little something extra you can drizzle them with chocolate.
