Ooooohhhhh, this is a little bit of heaven on earth people! I would never lead you astray, you know that right? So when I tell you how divine these cookies are (not to mention the dough!) you can trust me :) For those mint chocolate chip cookie lovers out there, these are definitely worth a try :) I came up with the recipe all on my own simply because I was feeling adventuresome and this just sounded so good!
What I used:
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1tsp. mint extract (you can add more or less depending on the extract you have. Some are more concentrated then others)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
12 oz. semisweet choco chips
Cream first 5 till light. Sift dry ingredients. Stir well. Add chips and extract. Take a regular spoon (like a cereal spoon) and scoop out dough. Roll into ball and flatten ever so slightly and place on a sprayed cookie sheet. Continue until all dough is rolled into separate 1 or 2 in. balls. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.
Best enjoyed if consumed while still warm :)

Ooh, this looks so good! I still have to pick up mint extract for the thin mints recipe, but then I'll have it for this too! :)
Yes, I've got mint extract in my pantry and chocolate chips. I'll have to give these a try. I have a linky party on my blog every week called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by this weekend and link this up.
