Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup green chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Gently fold in the green chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra vibrancy, look for high-quality green chocolate chips or color your white chocolate chips with food-safe green coloring.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their softness and freshness.
- For best results, use room temperature eggs which blend more smoothly into the batter.
- If you want a more intense green color, you can add a tiny drop of green food coloring to the batter.
