Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies from MomOnTimeout.com

Last year I saved this recipe from a magazine but I never got around to making it until now. Big mistake. A yummy twist on the after dinner mint – these cookies are so incredibly scrumptious and gloriously green! Using the cookie mix means minimal mess and super easy! The boys had a good time helping me out and were fascinated by our “green cookies”. Here’s what we did…

Ingredients:

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)

Directions:

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.

These cookies are so much fun because of their green color and refreshing flavors. My husband has already requested a batch for his office and I will definitely be bringing these to one of our holiday parties.

I would like to know, what is the weight (oz) of a pouch of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix? because I live in Cuernavaca, Mor, Mexico; and it is hard to find this ingredient. I appreciate your answer.
