Mint Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

 I made these with my son for St. Patrick's Day. 
They would also be perfect for Christmas and Halloween!

Mint Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

2 C sugar
1 C shortening
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla 
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1 C sour cream
3 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 package Guittard milk chocolate chips

Cream sugar and shortening together. Add egg. Then sour cream. Mix in vanilla & peppermint. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Then add in chocolate chips. I use a 1 1/2" cookie scoop to place even amounts of dough on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake @ 375* for about 7 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE! They will not look done when they are done. Take them out when they look dry. Golden around the edges means they are overdone. Let them cool completely. You will have chewy, moist, delicious cookies!
