I spotted this recipe (of all places) at Albertsons Grocery. It was on a tear-pad in the baking aisle next to the chocolate chips. Knowing Monkey Boy is a huge fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream…I decided to take the free recipe card home.
As you can see, when I made the cookies, I decided to “go big or go home.” Only 6 cookies per sheet. Afterall, these cookies were for Monkey Boy. If you have a teenage boy, you know how they inhale food. So making giant cookies (vs. the standard size) should net you 24 cookies. If you are making these for normal people (read: not teenagers) then you should be able to get 4 dozen out of this recipe.
