Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Egg: Beat in the egg until well combined.
-
Stir in Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. The minty aroma will start to fill your kitchen!

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. You should have a thick, cookie dough-like consistency.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. This is where the magic happens!
-
Form Cookie Balls: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking tray. Make sure to leave some space between each ball as they will spread while baking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Pop the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. π Tip: Keep an eye on them as they bake; you want them to be chewy, not crunchy!
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
