Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1:1 flour
- 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 drops mint green gel food coloring optional
- 1 drop peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips milk or dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks milk or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together sugars and butter, until creamy.
- Add egg, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Next, stir in the flour, dry pudding, salt, and baking soda, using a spatula (so you don't over-mix).
- Add mint extract and food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chocolate chunks (leaving a few to place on top of the cookies).
- Use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches of space between each cookie. Top the cookies with a few chocolate chunks. Gently press them in.
- Refrigerate the raw cookies for 20-30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the chilled cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, after which transfer to a cooling rack to fully cool.
