Mint Chip Dip Cookies

 Hands down, these are the best cookies ever.  Basically; they’re mint cookies, dipped in chocolate. Um, yes, yes, and YES PLEASE . These take some time, but are completely worth it.  Butter. Duh, every good cookies starts with a good chunk of butter, in this recipe we’ll use 1 cup of very soft salted butter. White sugar. Brown sugar. Eggs. Vanilla. Just to add a little flavour!  Peppermint extract. In mint cookies, you’ll need to add mint flavour, of course! We’ll use a half a tablespoon. This may seem like a lot, but we want a good, strong minty flavour. Green food colouring. This will tint our dough to make it look minty. This is completely optional. Flour.
