Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect bite of deliciousness!

I had so much fun making these cookies, and they were absolutely incredible! They tasted very much like mint chocolate chip ice cream and had such a wonderful soft texture that they were quite enjoyable to eat. The secret to the deep mint flavor was a combination of mint extract and an Andes Snap XL mint candy bar that I cut into bite-sized pieces. These cookies were a hit with my coworkers as well, and I really enjoy sharing my creations with them. It feels so wonderful to be able to share my joy with others.

I hope that everyone has a great Saint Patrick’s Day! Growing up my dad would make a Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner for my family each year; in fact it is something I miss now that I no longer live nearby. With everything going on right now, it has been quite awhile since I was able to visit my parents. That can certainly be difficult for me to think about and I look forward to seeing them soon. In the meantime, it is nice to have fond memories to look back on, like my dad’s dinners and sitting around the table with them as a family.

Sláinte!
