I couldn’t possibly spend two weeks baking and not make hubby something minty! Since I’m not making anything chocolate peanut butter the least I could do is make these minty fresh chocolate chip cookies for him.
If you haven’t bought the limited edition Nestle Toll House dark chocolate and mint morsels, I’d recommend you run right to the store to get some! They are quite tasty and made my house smell so fresh and minty.
On the back of the bag you’ll find this recipe for chocolate mint cookies. They turned out nice and soft just the way we like them!

How many cookies do you get out of this recipe? 😀
Hmm, it’s been so long since I made these but I remember getting a fair amount from the recipe. I’d say probably somewhere close to 3 dozen cookies.
I got 4 dozen cookies out of this recipe. They were so moist and yummy. I am definitely saving this recipe. My chips weren’t green though which is ok because the green ones look kind of weird to me. thank you for this awesome recipe!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe Jennifer!
