How to Make Chocolate Mint Snow Top Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the mint frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, beating until light and fluffy.
  11. Stir in the peppermint extract.
  12. Once the cookies are completely cool, frost the tops with the mint frosting. Sprinkle with additional crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
