Soft Mint Cookies: Freshness and Fragrance in a Flash.
Today, I present these delightful soft mint cookies. They are a fantastic alternative to usual sweets and, most importantly, are very quick to make!
The mint cookies are very unique treats thanks to the addition of chopped mint in the dough: the aroma is incredible! They are ideal at any time of the day for a touch of freshness.
To make them even more indulgent, you can add dark chocolate chips to the dough, a classic and winning combination.
Come with me, let’s start baking. Enjoy the recipe, Giusi!

Ingredients for Mint Cookies
- 1 2/3 cups Flour (I use all-purpose flour)
- 1/3 oz fresh mint (About 30 leaves)
- 3 1/2 tbsp butter (Softened)
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
Steps for Mint Cookies
Wash the mint leaves thoroughly and dry them well. Blend the mint together with the granulated sugar using a mixer.
Pour the resulting mixture into a bowl and add the egg, the previously softened butter, and mix well with a fork.
Also add the previously sifted flour and baking powder.
Work the dough until it forms a loaf (it will take around 2-3 minutes; it might seem not to compact, but keep insisting and you will see the loaf become homogeneous, smooth, and soft).Create the balls and slightly flatten them.
Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake at 350°F (preheated static oven) for 15 minutes.
The mint cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Let them cool for a few minutes before tasting to fully enjoy their softness and mint aroma. See you in the next recipe.
