Super easy cookies to make. I use mini chips and chopped up some pistachio nuts as well and the only complaint my family had was that they were too small! I did raise the temp of my oven to 375 and extend cooking time to 12 -15 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Love these minty green cookies! I did not chill the dough, but dropped them from a spoon onto the greased cookie sheet. I will say that my oven required more than the 10-12 min baking time .. more like 15-20 mins until they were golden brown on the bottom. It was hard to tell when they were done. I also used white choc chips, but they were delicious. My 16yo son even ate them!
