    Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

    This recipe takes my favorite foolproof chocolate chip cookie recipe and elevates it with extra chocolate and the perfect amount of peppermint. It's a fresh twist that's perfect to ring in for the springtime. Try adding chopped walnuts for an extra crunch or shredded coconut for a decorative look. —Amber McBride, Grain Valley, Missouri
