SIMPLY DELICIOUS MINTY COOKIES



Simply Delicious Minty Cookies image

Everyone who knows me, knows that I don't bake. So when I do, it is a very simple/easy recipe! I have been making these for over 25 years. It is a very rich/decadent cookie and taste like you've put a lot of work into it! *My picture...just finished baking these for my family's dessert tonight.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup(s) butter flavored crisco
1 package(s) (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup(s) granulated white sugar
1/2 cup(s) firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 cup(s) flour
1 3/4 cup(s) mint chocolate chips
1/2 cup(s) chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix Butter flavored Crisco, cream cheese, sugars and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  • Beat at medium speed until well blended.
  • Mix flour into creamed mixture at a low speed until blended.
  • Fold in mint chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto un-greased baking sheet. Or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. (Depending on your oven)Cool 2-5 minutes on baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack.
  • **Because this is a dense dough made with cream cheese instead of eggs, it does not spread out flat.
  • ***NOTE: I store them in an air tight container in the fridge after they have cooled. Tastes even better the next day. And they freeze well if you choose to freeze them.
