Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
2. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Mix on low speed until well combined and the color is evenly distributed.
Step 3
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. The dough will be soft.
Step 5
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the dough and make it easier to handle.
Step 6
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops should look slightly underbaked.
Step 9
9. Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, pressing down gently until the kiss is secure.
Step 10
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The chocolate will soften from the heat but will firm up again as the cookies cool.
You Must Know
- ✓For the best texture, make sure your butter is truly at room temperature - it should be soft but not melted.
- ✓Don't overbake these cookies; they should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven as they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet.
- ✓If your kitchen is warm, you may need to chill the dough longer or work in smaller batches to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
