During the holidays I love trying out new cookie recipes. This year I made one that was very simple and was a big hit. Logan declared them his favorite and could have eaten the whole jar in one sitting if we let him!
They have a wonderful holiday color but could be used all year round and are perfect for people who love chocolate mint treats. I really like that they can be made quickly with a premade store bought sugar cookie mix or if you have a little more time you can make the sugar cookies from scratch.
These cookies didn’t last long in our house and that just gives me the perfect excuse to make them again soon!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies? Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream is my absolute favorite. It has been since I was a child. I am definitely going to make these soon!
I might make some of these for my mom. She loves mint chocolate anything.
I have got to try these, the only thing better than chocolate is chocolate with mint!!
Simple and delicious, I love it, especially when the kids can help make it and then enjoy the rewards.
This just might be my favorite recipe of all time. I love mint chocolate chip ice cream and sugar cookies, now I get both in one. I can’t wait to try making these. Thanks for the recipe.
That looks great! We have made chocolate chips numerous times! It’s a favorite in this house but had never considered adding mint (even though that is a popular ice cream flavor). We will definitely try this out next time
I love mint, these sound great!

I just made some Double Chocolate Chip Cookies last night with the dark chocolate and mint morsels. It was a nice change from the cookies I have been stuffing my face with! I like the color of yours, I’ll have to try that next time or just color half of the dough and swirl them together.
I am gonna have to try these
what a great idea to change something common into something special!
Where do you buy the dark chocolate and mint morsels? I haven’t been able to find them for years!
Whoops–I didn’t see how many pages of comments there were, and that you’d already answered! I’ll have to check Amazon, as you suggest.
Looks very yummy – we’ll have to try them
