Mint Cookies

I love Mint Cookies. We make them every Christmas (since I was in 4th grade) - and it reminds me of everything that is good and happy!


I made them tonight - and ate two of them - and happiness abounded everywhere. So delicious. I wanted to share the recipe with anyone who might read.

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups sugar divided
3/4 cups vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 10 ounce package of Nestles toll house mint morsels

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt - set aside.

Mix 1 cup sugar, veg oil, beaten eggs, vanilla.
Gradually beat in flour mixture
Stir in mint chips.
Shape into balls using rounded teaspoons full of dough.
Roll in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Baked at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
Cool completely on wire racks.


Please make them and enjoy! (AND - if you read this and happen to be allergic to dairy - may I suggest making them without chips (or with chips you can eat) and mint extract to get the minty deliciousness!
