Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies combine a buttery dough infused with peppermint extract and classic mint green coloring with chunks of Andes mints and milk chocolate chips. After chilling briefly, the dough is baked into soft cookies that carry a minty flavor paired with smooth melted chocolate pieces. These cookies highlight the cool freshness of mint alongside rich chocolate, baked to a gentle tenderness rather than a crisp crunch.

Notes
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking to help cookies hold their shape.
- Bake in 8 to 10 minutes at 350°F for a soft texture with slightly melted chocolate chunks.
