Chocolate Chip Mint Cut Out Cookies

Chocolate Chip Mint Cut Out Cookies

mint chip cut out cookies createdbydiane.com

I’m not sure what it is

but as soon as March rolls around,

all things GREEN and MINT seem to consume my thoughts!

After all St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner,

I really miss watching the parade I used to see years ago. It’s still going on in the town I would see it, but I’m MILES from there now.

Good memories!

Thin Mints are at every corner you turn, like it or not. I’ve been bombarded with a stand selling them at every store I go to for weeks.

Soon they will be gone and well, if you want a mint fix, you can give these a try!

You can add as much green food coloring as you’d like to these to get them as green as you’d like.

I’m a huge mint chip fan… but keep in mind, mint chip is not flavored with peppermint, it’s flavored with a smoother creme de menthe. Use a concentrated Creme De Menthe Oil (or extract) for these cookies, it’s available on Amazon here.

Leprechaun Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies @createdbydiane

If you are celebrating all things IRISH this St. Patrick’s Day these cute little Leprechaun Cookies will make a fun treat.

*I usually add 6+ drops food coloring, this time I used 2 and it wasn’t enough green for me once baked, the green fades. If you’d like “greener cookies add 6+ drops coloring.

To decorate the Leprechauns, I used a drop of corn syrup on a toothpick to stick the sprinkles on. Alternatively, you could use icing. The eyes and mouth are melted chocolate, and I stuck the shamrock sprinkles onto the dots for eyes for them to stand off the cookie, 3D “like”. They almost seemed to twinkle!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think I need to dunk these into a dish of mint chocolate chip ice cream!

    The cookies look like they have (mini?) chocolate chips in them, and the title of the recipe says they do, but I didn’t see chips in the ingredients list or in the cooking directions – did I miss it?

    Thanks!

      Oh my goodness, I forgot to add the best part into the recipe. I adjusted the recipe to reflect the 1 cup of mini chocolate chips I added. Thanks for catching my error.

    Is it 1 1/2 Cups of Powdered Sugar? I am assuming it is, but would like to make sure. They look really good though.

      yes, sorry about that. I missed typing the word cups. I adjusted the recipe to reflect it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
