Equipment

  • Mixing bowl Large
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer For creaming butter and sugar
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or non-stick spray
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (dry)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp mint extract
  • 1 drop blue food coloring
  • 7-10 drops green food coloring
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (or mix of chips and chunks)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cream together the sugar and softened butter in a large bowl until fluffy.
  • Add the egg, sour cream, and dry pudding mix. Stir well to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and stir until combined.
  • Add mint extract and food coloring, mixing until you reach your desired shade.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips (or a mix of chips/chunks). If using Andes baking bits, add them in addition to the 1 1/2 cups chips.
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy warm.

Notes

For extra chocolate texture, mix chips and chunks. If using Andes baking bits, add them in addition to the 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips since they can melt into the dough.
