I’m really excited about today’s Christmas treat, you guys. Mint chocolate chip COOKIES. My favorite ice cream flavor, in cookie form. With their fresh, minty flavor and abundance of chocolate chips, these cookies taste like Christmas on a plate.
These cookies use packaged sugar cookie mix, which I’ve used lots of times with really good results. I’m sure you could find a completely-from-scratch recipe if you were so inclined. But if you’re making these for Christmas along with a bunch of other types of cookies, why not take a little help from a mix? The mix works perfectly for these cookies, giving them a sugary flavor and a nice texture.
I will be honest with you and tell you that not too many of these cookies actually made it onto my Christmas cookie trays last year. They were eaten too quickly by my own family! I’m making them again this year, just for us.
