quartered the recipe, still delicious
Used 2 cups butter and only three cups sugar. The cookies came out great. It makes a very large amount of cookies but giving away the extras to friends is the best part of cookie making.
I just love chocolate and mint together turned out super to take for snacks on our trip
They smell so good! Easy, yummy recipe I made for St. Patrick’s day.
i love the taste. Just cut down on butter.
these are addictive. I half the recipe and use 1.5 c sugar instead of 2c, and they’re still great! the chocolate chips taste like mint nuggets somehow and it’s amazing. a new holiday fave.
Very good. Made with just the vanilla. They are a bit soft and thin so you need to really cool them before taking off the sheet. I might add a bit more flour next time
I halved the recipe and it made about 36 decent sized cookies. Used only 1 cup butter and only mint extract (1tsp total). Super easy and very tasty!
halved the recipe, added milk and some extra flour so the batter would actually stay together when i mixed it, turned out more like cake than cookies. very well-received. small cake bites are the best.
Cookies are crumbly . I added mint chips .
My kids loved this cookie! So tasty!
These were very tasty, minus 1 stick of butter, HOWEVER, VERY GREASY even still! The butter amount CANNOT BE CORRECT. I’m thinking it should be 2 1/2 STICKS of butter and NOT 2 1/2 pounds of butter .
When the first batch came out of the oven I waited the allotted time to transfer the cookies to the cooling rack and some fell apart. The next batch I simply allowed the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before placing them on the cooling rack and this solved the crumbling problem. The cookies are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chocolate flavor is rich with the mint flavor being very subtle. They were enjoyed by all at the gathering. Thank you for the recipe.
very good……added more peppermint
halved the entire recipe due to other reviews.
These cookies came out great! Reduced the amount of butter to 2 cups as the others recommended! Sprinkled crushed candy canes on top! They were a big hit!
These are delicious but the recipe should be halved… makes more than 100 cookies as published.
This recipe was AWESOME! I halved it because I don’t need 96. I also used 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead of 1/2 of vanilla and 1/2 of peppermint, since a) my family didn’t want mint and b) we didn’t have any! The cookie was not too sweet and kind of flat, which is fine. It was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Very good!
My first round were under baked so I increased the temp to 375F and baked them for 11 mins, much better!
Probably won’t make again, they looked good while in the oven but when they cool they go really flat. Don’t quite have the flavor I wanted, I was looking for a recipe I’d made before and thought this was it. Made about 4 dozen tablespoon-ish sized cookies. Decent for what it is but not great.
Wow! This is a fantastic recipe. I used a bag of Mini M&Ms and half a bag of dark chocolate chips instead of 2 cups of regular chocolate chips. I used 2 cups of regular flour, 1 cup of self-rise flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour. These are moist and so delish!!! Highly recommend!!!
