Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in peppermint extract and green food coloring until batter is well blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For perfect softness, ensure butter is softened, not melted. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
