MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
(OR I MAY CALL THEM GRINCH COOKIES BECAUSE THEY ARE GREEN :))
1 POUCH (1 LB 1.5 OZ) BETTY CROCKER SUGAR COOKIE MIX
(OR I BELIEVE YOU COULD USE ANY COOKIE RECIPE)
1/2 CUP BUTTER OR MARGARINE (SOFTENED)
1/4 TSP MINT EXTRACT
8 DROPS GREEN FOOD COLORING
1 EGG
1 CUP CREME DE MENTHE BAKING CHIPS (I USED ANDY'S MINTS THAT I CHOPPED UP BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND THE CHIPS)
1 CUP CHOCOLATE CHIPS
HEAT OVEN TO 350. IN LARGE BOWL, STIR COOKIE MIX, BUTTER, EXTRACT, FOOD COLORING AND EGG UNTIL SOFT DOUGH FORMS. STIR IN BAKING CHIPS.
USING SMALL COOKIE SCOOP OR TEASPOON, DROP DOUGH 2 INCHES APART ON UNGREASED COOKIE SHEET.
BAKE 8-10 MINUTES OR UNTIL SET. SERVE WARM OR COOL AND ENJOY.
THESE ARE VERY GOOD - I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD BE AS GOOD AS THEY ARE, BUT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! TASTE JUST LIKE MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM!

Okay, I'm a little behind on my Countdown to Christmas - I will try to catch up today. Here a recipe I tried the other day. I have made these before as brownies (recipe from my mom) but I decided to try them as cookies and see what happened. They turned out wonderful.
BROWNIE SURPRISE COOKIES
1 Brownie Mix
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/8- 1/4 cup water
