Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
We found holiday Mint M&M's and used those in our cookies instead of just chocolate chips. We also used white chocolate chips. So, these Christmas cookies are delicious and don't last long!

- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

- In your mixer bowl, beat softened butter, sugars, and peppermint extract until nice and fluffy.
- Add in and beat eggs one at a time, just until incorporated.
- Continue beating with the mixer and add food coloring. It will be a very strong color because we have not added the flour yet.
- Slowly add and beat in the flour mixture.
