1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

If you would like mix in some chocolate chips

Place spoonfuls of dough on to a  cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes at 375

When cookies are cool put icing on cookies 

Icing:

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract 

1 to 2 drops green food coloring

1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Then drizzle chocolate drizzle on top

***** When I make these cookies I usually make some of the dough without the mint extract and then I just put chocolate on top of those people who do not like mint ******
