i have been in denial for 3 days now, but i guess it is finally time to admit it - i am sick. boo.
i guess it's better to admit it than admit laziness because i have pretty much only been sleeping, reading, pinteresting, napping, and eating the past couple of days. E had it first and i was determined not to get it but it got me instead.
due to said
with a little green food coloring these would have been perfect for a st. partick's day celebration but truthfully, these are tasty for any day of the year. these mint chocolate chip cookies are an excellent twist on a traditional favorite!

preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
in a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients - flour, soda, and salt - and set aside.
in the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together cooled, soft browned butter and sugars until light and fluffy - 2-3 minutes on medium speed. add vanilla and eggs on at a time mixing until combined. slowly add in dry in dry ingredients on low speed and mix until combined. add chips and mix until just distributed.
