• After that, incorporate the flour mixture into the butter and pudding mixture and stir until well combined.
• Now, add the mint extract and food coloring until desired color is achieved.
• Lastly, add in the chocolate chips. I used 3/4 cup chocolate chunks, 3/4 cup regular chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Andes baking bits. Any combination is wonderful, but note that while the Andes mint baking pieces add an incredible flavor, they kind of disappear in the cookies. So add them in addition to the 11/2 cups chocolate chips, if you opt to put them in!
