Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

By srumbel

This is a really easy and quick recipe. They are made from a bag of sugar cookie mix! Now, I don't usually bake with cookie mix. The cookie mix is a great shortcut. They take about 45 minutes from start to finish. You can't beat that! You could always use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and add some mint extract, green food coloring and mint chocolate chips. Either way, they taste great!
