Green Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I got this recipe in my e-mail from a Betty Crocker mailing, and it was a 2010 prize-winning recipe. The cookie dough is tinted green, so they are great for St. Patrick's Day or a holiday tray.

1 (17 1/2 ounce) sugar cookie mix (the 1 lb. 1.5 oz Betty crocker pouch)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (NOT mint, mint is like a toothpaste smell or taste)
