I love mint… especially at Christmas time.  These cookies are perfect for the holidays, cookie exchanges, or whenever!  My friend Monica gave me this recipe years ago (Thanks Monica!) and it’s still a favorite.

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 oz. instant chocolate pudding
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2  cup chocolate chips
1 cup mint chips

Cream butter, sugars, and dry pudding.  Mix in eggs, vanilla, and soda.  Stir in flour and both chips.  Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes.
