Delight in rich, fudgy Chocolate Mint Crinkles with a refreshing hint of mint and a crackled powdered sugar exterior, perfect for festive occasions or an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball generously in powdered sugar to coat.
  7. Place coated balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies have spread and cracked, but still appear slightly soft in the center.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra touch, drizzle melted dark chocolate over cooled cookies or add finely chopped mint leaves into the dough for a fresher mint flavor.
