Description

These Chocolate Mint Sugar Cookie Drops are the ultimate holiday treat, combining the comforting warmth of a classic sugar cookie with the refreshing twist of mint. The secret lies in rolling the dough balls in extra sugar before baking, creating a delightful crunchy shell that contrasts beautifully with the soft, cake-like interior. Loaded with mint-chocolate chips, each bite offers a perfect balance of sweet and cool flavors. They are incredibly easy to mix up, requiring no chilling time, making them a last-minute favorite for parties or gift-giving. Serve them warm from the oven or pack them in tins for a charming present.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the sugar and the vegetable oil; mix well until smooth.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the mint-chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula.
  7. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a small shallow dish.
  8. Scoop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough and roll into balls; roll each ball in the remaining sugar to coat.
  9. Place the coated dough balls on ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
