🥡 Storing
Enjoying your freshly baked Mint Chocolate Chip York Mini Mint Patty Cookies right away is a delightful experience, but you may also want to save some for later. Here's how to properly store and freeze these cookies:
Storage
- Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain their freshness.
- Refrigerator: If you prefer your cookies slightly chilled, you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Freezing
- Freezing Cookie Dough: If you want to prepare the dough in advance, you can freeze it in portioned scoops on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the scoops to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
- Freezing Baked Cookies: Allow the baked cookies to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper. Label with the date, and they can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Thawing and Reheating: To enjoy frozen cookies, thaw them at room temperature or in the refrigerator. For a freshly baked taste, you can reheat them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the large eggs, baking soda, salt, mint extract, and green food coloring, then combine until smooth and creamy. Add the flour and mix until well combined. Add the chocolate chips (either milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips work equally well) and stir them in. You can stir in the York Minis, but placing them on the tops of the baked cookies works best.
- Spoon in heaping teaspoonful amounts onto the parchment paper lined baking sheets, allowing about 2 inches between the cookies. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until just starting to brown on the cookie bottom and the top is no longer raw in appearance.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
*If you didn't stir in the York Minis, place a few of the York Minis on each cookie directly after removing the cookies from the oven and then allow them to cool as usual (as in the photos).
