Melt-in-your-mouth mint chocolate chip snowball cookies, delicately green and coated in powdered sugar. A festive and refreshing treat for holidays or mint lovers any time of year.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon mint or peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (gel preferred)
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
  • Additional powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add flour, salt, and mint extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. Add green food coloring a drop at a time until desired color is achieved.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared sheet.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the dough balls for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake chilled dough balls for 7–8 minutes, until bottoms are just lightly golden.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a parchment-lined tray dusted with powdered sugar. Dust the tops generously.
  11. Once completely cooled, roll each cookie again in a bowl of powdered sugar to fully coat.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze: cool fully, flash freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Do not overbake — cookies should remain pale and tender.
