Green Mint Crinkles image

This is a fun holiday recipe (especially Christmas or St. Patrick's Day) originally from the cookbook "Honest Pretzels." I made a few small changes and additions to the recipe. We love them! They are very pepperminty.

Time 22m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup real butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint, extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (2 1/4 ounce) jar green sugar crystals
Hershey chocolate kisses, chocolate chips or white chocolate chips, for decorating

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Mix melted butter, sugar, peppermint extract and vanilla extract. Mix in beaten egg and milk and stir well.
  • In a separate bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt and jar of green sugar crystals.
  • Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir gently until well mixed. Using small cookie scoop or hands, form small balls (about 1 inch). Place on prepared baking tray (they can be close, but not touching).
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. If desired, take out a few minutes before the baking time is up, decorate the tops with kisses or chips and bake for a couple minutes more.
  • Cool on a wire rack, then enjoy! These cookies taste best after cooling to room temperature.
