Message from Maggie:  I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but my skinny husband does. His favorite treats contain mint flavor.  Below I took a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe and add Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups (12-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cups Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
3. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and Andes Crème de Menthe Baking Chips.
6. Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto ungreased baking sheets.
7. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes
9. Move to wire racks to cool completely.

Allergies:  This recipe contains flour and milk.  It can easily be made gluten free by using cup for cup gluten free flour.  I recommend King Arthur’s multi-purpose flour.
