For a more intense peppermint flavor, consider adding crushed peppermint candies to the dough. Using high-quality peppermint extract is essential for achieving the best flavor. Don't overbake the cookies! They should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet. For even baking, rotate the baking sheets halfway through the baking time. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving a tender cookie. (5 minutes)
03
StepBeat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. Ensure everything is well combined. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in hot water. This activates the baking soda, ensuring a good rise. Add this mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well. (1 minute)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. (3 minutes)
06
StepGently fold in the chocolate chips and green food coloring (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (2 minutes)
07
StepDrop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (9-11 minutes)
09
StepLet the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking. (5 minutes)
