GREEN MINT CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electra mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy.
• Add sugar, beating again for 1-2 minutes. Add peppermint extract and eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add green food coloring.
• Sift together sea salt, baking powder, baking soda and flour. Add in 3 portions until just mixed.
• Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, but up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll dough into a 1 inch ball and then in powdered sugar.
• Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet and bake for 10-11 minutes. Tops will still be glossy, this is normal. Do not overcook them.
• Remove and allow to cool. They will deflate a little and the cracks will become more apparent.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container after fully cooled.
