Mint Chocolate Cookies

Ever since Jake saw a picture of some green mint cookies on the back of my cooking magazine, he made me swear to him that I'd make them for Christmas.

These cookies are really good and their green color makes them festive for Christmas or St. Patty's Day. You can also add some chocolate chips if you need a better chocolate fix. They would also work well as an ice cream sandwich using chocolate ice cream.  

Recipe:
1 package of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix along with ingredients to make them
3 tbs mint extract
Few drops of green food coloring
1 package of Andy's Creme De Menthe chocolate mints

Prepare sugar cookies as directed. Chop Andy's mints into small pieces. Add mints, extract, and as much food coloring as desired to sugar cookie dough. Mix and form small balls to place on cooking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Makes about 16 good sized cookies.

Jake's Take: Jake loved these cookies and suggested making a "cookie sandwich" with 3 of them... I however I wouldn't recomend this unless you're prepared for a sugar coma. This recipe is great for people that love mint.
