🍴 How to Make Green Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add eggs, vanilla, and green food coloring. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until the dough is smooth and no flour remains.
Step 3: Add Mix-Ins
Fold in chocolate chips (both kinds) and crushed Oreos until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Shape & Bake
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.

Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
