Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure peppermint extract
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar and oil mixture, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, rolling each portion into a ball with your hands.
Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until completely coated. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops have a crackled appearance.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Chocolate Mint Snowtop Cookies with a festive holiday beverage such as hot cocoa or eggnog, and enjoy!
