Description
Delicious mint chocolate chip cookies that are soft and fluffy, perfect for the holidays or any time of the year!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the peppermint extract to the creamed mixture, stirring until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the mint chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop and roll the dough into balls (about 1 inch in diameter), then place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- While still warm, roll the cookies in powdered sugar for that classic snowy finish. Allow them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a stronger mint flavor, you can increase the peppermint extract to 1.5 teaspoons.
