Festive Treat~Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

In the mood for a festive treat or need a simple gift idea?!?!  How about cooking up some Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies???  They're super yummy, super easy, and super green!  ENJOY!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 pouch sugar cookie mix (i.e., bag (I use Betty Crocker))
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon mint extract (I use a little less because I don't like them too minty)
6 to 8 drops green food color
1 egg
1 cup creme de menthe baking chips (less is ok too)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks (less is ok too)

1) Mix cookie mix, butter, extract, food color and egg in bowl until soft dough forms.  Stir in creme de menthe baking chips and chocolate chunks.
2) Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
3) Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.  Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Serve warm or cool completely.  Store tightly covered at room temperature.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
