Mint Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies 

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.

1. Add Extracts:

• Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until well combined.

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

1. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:

• Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

1. Fold in Chocolate Chips:

• Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

1. Shape the Cookies:

• Using your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

1. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine.

1. Cool and Roll in Sugar:

• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, roll each cookie in the remaining powdered sugar until well coated.

1. Serve:

• Enjoy these delightful mint chocolate chip snowball cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
