Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, peppermint extract, and food coloring, mixing well.
  5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just mixed.
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. If the dough is sticky, chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
