Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

Chill the Dough

Bake the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are slightly soft.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use real peppermint extract for authentic flavor.
  • Chill dough for at least an hour for best texture.
  • Shape dough into egg shapes for even baking.
