Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with butter or oil. In a large mixing bowl, mix together melted butter, sugar, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. In a small separate bowl, beat the egg, then add to the sugar mixture along with the milk.

Then add the flour, baking powder, salt, and green crystals. You’ll want to mix this by hand if you’re using a mixer, being sure to mix the green crystals in well. It’s always awkward when there’s a little patch of green at the bottom of the bowl, am I right?

Now make balls of dough roughly the size of a ping pong ball (I did mine a little smaller just so I could have more cookies) and place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. They can be close together because they barely spread, but they shouldn’t touch. Put them in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.

Let them cool a bit before removing them from the tray as they can be pretty fragile when you remove them. My favorite part of eating these cookies is to eat them when they’re still pretty warm and, when your mouth is full of cookie, to inhale. You get this minty steam and it tastes so good and feels like mint oil but in your MOUTH. Ok, I’ll stop. Enjoy with a glass of milk!
