I love the vibrant green color of these. Perfect for a Dr. Seuss reading day with kids, St Patricks day, and even Halloween. Thank you for sharing it at #OMHGWW!
What a coincidence! I am planning to make mint chocolate chip cookie bars today that I will post next week. Mint chocolate chip ice cream is a favorite at our house, so I am sure these cookies would be devoured!

I’ve been looking for a peppermint extract since forever but I haven’t found one yet. And I really don’t know why I can’t find them. These cookies are so pretty. Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday party!
Huh. Really? Well if all else fails you can always order it from Amazon 🙂 https://amzn.to/2VVFUsb – (affiliate link)
Just made these and they are not green color at all. But still taste good.
It doesn’t take a lot of food coloring to turn these cookies green – I recommend 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of coloring (which is a LOT).
