Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then blend in the mint extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies if using.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes if it's too soft or sticky.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for approximately 12-14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
