Tips and Tricks
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-6 days or freeze them in a large freezer bag and store for up to 3 months.
- If you can’t find mint chips, but you still want to have that peppermint flavor, try adding a drop or two of peppermint extract to the dough.
- Customize your cookies with mix-ins like dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, toffee bits, coconut, or sprinkles to add some fun and crunch.
- Boost the holiday vibe by adding gel food coloring to your dough.
- After mixing, wrap your dough in plastic wrap and chill it for about 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
