How to Make Mint Meltaway Sugar Cookies

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup granulated sugar and vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers.
Sprinkle a little bit of extra granulated sugar over the tops of the cookies.
Bake for 6-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, melt the milk chocolate chips and mint chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. (If necessary, stir and microwave in 10-second increments until fully melted).
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the melted chocolate mint mixture over the top of each cookie, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the cookies back on a baking sheet or cookie tray and refrigerate or freeze until the topping is completely set. (Freezing speeds up the process!)
