Swirled Mint Cookies
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the dough in half. To one half, add the mint extract and green food coloring, mixing until the color is evenly distributed.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the plain dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Repeat with the mint dough.
-
Carefully place the mint dough on top of the plain dough, and roll the two together into a tight log.
-
Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Slice the chilled dough log into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted.
-
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
-
Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
