This delicious green chocolate chips cookies makes excellent St Partick Kids friendly dessert it is simple and easy to to put together. Made from scratch with touch of green food coloring and green chocolate chips.
My daughter is having spring break this week; and she wants to eat chocolate chips cookies. In the mean time I am looking for St. Patrick Day recipes. However not being courageous enough to make Irish soda bread, I decided to try these Green chocolate chip cookies.
I didn’t want to add any mint chips or mint extract to the cookie because if I add them my kids may not like it. Even my daughter is a fan of blue color and she wants everything in blue. Still she and her brother were happy to start eating these green cookies, as soon as it came out of the oven. I am planning to make shamrock shake also; I don’t know whether I get time. As tomorrow is one of Tamil Brahmin festival Karadaiyan nombu so I need to make special dishes for that. And Holi, festival of color also falls on March 17th so I need to make something for that too. So maybe next time I will make that.
What is St. Patrick Holiday?

AD 385–461).Even though it is lent time, on that day restrictions are lifted and even drinking alcohol is tradition as part of St. Patrick’s day celebration. According to Irish folklore St Patrick used 3 leaved shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine to Irish people.
