1 tsp mint extract
Green food coloring (to desired shade)

In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy (2-3 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time followed by mint extract until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour and baking powder; gradually add to wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
