Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today I planned on making Minty Shamrock Cookies that i found on the Love and Butter Blog by Julie. The looked amazing and even though St. Patty's day was yesterday I decided to give them a whirl. After digging out the holiday assortment of cookie cutters from Wilton I discovered that there was no shamrock cutter. After a trip to 4 stores and no luck finding the cutters I decided my plans needed a little reworking and went with Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have finally found some sugar free chocolate chips in a local store!! That made my day for sure. I finally came up with this recipe, it needs a little work but its not too bad for sugar free!
