1 pouch of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 tsp mint extract
7 drops green food coloring
1 egg
1 c creme de menth baking chips
1 c semisweet or dark chocolate chips (I used a combination)
Mix the cookie mix, butter, mint extract, green food color and egg in a bowl until a soft dough forms.
Make sure the food coloring is well incorporated. The dough should be a uniform green color.
Add in the baking chips and chocolate chips and stir until well combined. Use a teaspoon to drop dough two inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. You want to catch the cookies before they turn brown so keep an eye on them after 8 minutes. Let the cookies cool for three minutes and then place on a wire rack to cool.

Ever tried these chips in any of your recipes, and especially these cookies?
http://www.nuts.com/chocolatessweets/toppings/chips/mint-chocolate.html
They seem to be pure mint chips (no chocolate). The site also has mint and chocolate chips, as well as raspberry and chocolate chips. I thought you might find them interesting to attempt cookies with.:)
