Notes
Picture perfect. Once you have scooped the dough onto the baking sheet, then add 5 mint chips to the top of each cookie dough ball. As the cookies bake they spread a little allowing the chips to nestle perfectly on top.
Prep ahead. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1-2 days, or freeze cookie dough balls to bake later. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
