Description

These Chocolate Mint Snow-Top Cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and cool. The dough is rich with melted mint chocolate chips, creating a fudgy interior that contrasts beautifully with the crisp, sugary exterior. As they bake, the cookies crackle open, revealing the vibrant green minty chocolate within. They are incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few pantry staples like butter, sugar, and flour. The chilling step ensures they hold their shape, resulting in a tender crumb. Ideal for holiday gatherings, Christmas cookie exchanges, or simply as an afternoon treat with coffee, these cookies bring a festive flair to any dessert plate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of the mint chocolate chips on HIGH power for 1 minute, stirring well.
  3. Microwave for 30 seconds longer if needed, stirring until completely smooth.
  4. In a large mixer bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy.
  5. Add the melted mint chocolate chips and vanilla extract to the butter mixture; beat until combined.
  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  8. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of mint chocolate chips by hand.
  9. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
  10. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  11. Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  12. Roll each ball in the confectioners sugar until completely coated.
  13. Place the coated dough balls on ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  14. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops appear cracked and set.
  15. Let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to firm up.
  16. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely on wire racks.
