Preheat the oven to 250 F. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Gently fold in mint extract, miniature chocolate chips, and optional food coloring.

Drop scant teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart.
