St Patrick Day Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the egg and peppermint extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well to combine.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

6. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough, mixing well until you achieve your desired shade of green.

7. Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Use the bottom of a glass to gently flatten each dough ball.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once the cookies are cool, dust them with powdered sugar for a snowy finish.

12. Serve and enjoy these delicious St. Patrick's Day Cookies with a cup of hot tea or coffee.
