I am in love with these St. Patty's Day Mint Chocolate Chip cookies!
They are such a fun and delicious way to celebrate! They bring together chocolate, mint, butter, and brown sugar together in a way that delights the taste buds. Plus, they're bright green to get into the spirit of the day.
You can enjoy them with our without a cocktail. It's totally up to you!
