Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies

Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick) 1 egg 1/2 cup sour cream 1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp mint extract 3 drops blue coloring + 10-15 drops green coloring 1 cup Andes mint baking bits* 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips  Directions 1- Cream together sugar and butter. Add egg, sour cream and pudding mix. 2- In a small bowl, combine flour, salt & baking soda. 3- Incorporate flour mixture into the pudding mixture and mix until well combined. Add mint extract and food coloring until desired color is achieved. 4- Add in Andes baking bits and chocolate chips. 5- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy!  Yields 3 dozen cookies. *I used 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 1 cup chocolate chips, if you opt to put them in! Thanks For Visiting
