Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 c butter, room temperature
1/2 c cane sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c chocolate chips
3/4 c Andes creme de menthe chips
4 to 5 peppermint oil drops (or to taste)
1 c mixed toasted pecans, sliced almonds and chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together butter and sugar.
  • 2. Add egg, vanilla, and peppermint oil and blend.
  • 3. In a separate bowl combine flour, cornstarch, soda, and salt.
  • 4. Sift and add to creamed mixture.
  • 5. Stir until blended.
  • 6. Stir in chips and nuts.
  • 7. Make balls of dough using 2 Tbsp size cookie scoop. Roll each in hand to ball shape and place all on one cookie sheet.
  • 8. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
  • 9. (At this point chilled cookies can be placed in plastic freezer bag and freeze. Thaw 20 minutes before baking.)
  • 10. Placed chilled dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  • 11. Bake 15 to 18 minutes at 325 degrees or until browned and a bit crispy around the edges
  • 12. Sometimes I add crushed up hard peppermint candies instead of adding the oil. Just crush and measure with the nuts.
