Creme De Menthe Cookies

2 2/3 cups flour

1/2 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 package of Andes mint baking chips

Directions

I use a brand of vanilla that is quite strong, so usually only use one teaspoon of vanilla. I've also used both light and dark brown sugar on this recipe, both coming out great.

Mix together the butter and sugars. Add in the baking soda, baking powder, vanilla and eggs. Mix well. Add in the flour and mix well. Gently stir in the mint baking chips. Cover and chill about one hour. It's also OK to leave the dough overnight in the refrigerator.

Remove from the refrigerator and form a small ball. Then flatten the ball with the palms of your hands. Place on cookie sheet and repeat until your cooking sheet is full. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow to cool just a minute before placing on cooling rack.
