How to Make Mint Chocolate Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each ball to a 1 ½-inch round.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, sift powdered sugar generously over the cookies for an extra festive touch.
- Enjoy your delicious Mint Chocolate Cookies! Makes approximately 48 cookies.
