Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies

By luvmybuttonsnbows

Shiny cookie sheets allow cookies to bake evenly. Dark cookie sheets absorb heat faster and brown the crust too quickly.

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp. butter or margarine
• 1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. each vanilla and mint extracts
• 3/4 c. unbleached flour
• 3/4 c. toasted wheat germ
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 to 1 c. chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, vanilla and mint extracts. In separate bowl, combine flour, wheat germ and baking powder. Stir into the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 min.
