How to Make Swirled Mint Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar 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 soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth. This is your mint swirl mixture.
- Divide the cookie dough in half. Keep one half plain. Gently fold the mint swirl mixture into the other half of the dough until evenly swirled.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of both the plain and mint dough onto the prepared baking sheets, alternating colors. Slightly flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass or spoon.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
