Day One:

'Tis the season once again. I'm no Grinch but I know plenty.

So, here is a super simply very tasty recipe to help you feel the holiday cheer

...and they looks festive too!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

1

pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix

1/2

cup butter or margarine, softened

1/4

to 1/2 teaspoon mint extract

6

to 8 drops green food color

1

egg

1

cup creme de menthe baking chips

1

cup semisweet chocolate chunks

Directions:

   Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, extract, food color and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in creme de menthe baking chips and chocolate chunks.

2 Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop dough 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

3 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely. Store tightly covered at room temperature.

Note: I used some random chocolate chips I found in my kitchen and chopped up mint Hershey's Kisses. Everyone thought they turned out great!
