Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the peppermint extract.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and milk until smooth. Add this chocolate mixture to the butter mixture and mix well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. In a shallow dish, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the powdered sugar.
  9. Roll rounded tablespoons of chilled dough into balls.
  10. Roll each ball in the sugar mixture to coat completely.
  11. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  13. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger mint flavor, you can add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough.
  • Ensure the dough is well-chilled before rolling; this prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
  • These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
