Ingredients you will need to make mint chocolate chip cookies.
- Flour. I have not tried this recipe using an alternative flour such as a low carb flour.
- Baking Soda. For leavening.
- Salt. Just a small amount is used. If you are using salted butter you can omit the salt.
- Butter. Your butter should be softened to room temperature.
- Sugar Alternative. Use a granular sugar alternative that measures like sugar and that can be baked with.
- Eggs. Your eggs should be at room temperature.
- Peppermint Food Extract. Feel free to use another extract if desired.
- Sugar Free Chocolate Chips. Semi-sweet chocolate chips work best in this recipe as they are softer.
