Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars a delicious dessert that combines the classic flavors of mint and chocolate in a convenient bar form. These chocolate chip bars are perfect for those who love the taste of mint and chocolate but don't want to go through the hassle of making individual cookies.
Then, line the inside of a 9x13 baking dish or a quarter-sized baking sheet with parchment paper and then set it aside.
Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until well blended. Then, add in the egg, sour cream, and pudding mix and stir until combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
After that, combine the dry flour mixture to the wet butter/pudding mixture and mix until combined. Next, add in the mint extract and food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips. I used ¾ cups of chocolate chips and ¾ cups of chocolate chunks for a nice variety but you can use all of one or the other but a combination of the two is pretty wonderful!
Bake: Press the dough out into your prepared baking dish and then place it into the preheated oven.
Proceed to bake for 20-22 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Slice into squares, serve and enjoy!
