Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons of butter (softened) and an additional tablespoon for melting the chips
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 10 oz package of mint chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar

Makes approximately 3 dozen

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees FBlend 6 tablespoons of butter and sugar in large bowl until smooth

Add one egg and mix it fully into the butter mixture before adding the second

Add vanilla and mix

Sift flour, salt and baking powder together

While mixing, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in 1/2 cup increments until well blended.

Melt one cup of the mint chocolate chips with the tablespoon of butter in the microwave for 60 seconds, stirring half-way through the cooking time

Stir the melted chips into the flour mixture until fully blended

Fold the remaining mint chocolate chips into the cookie dough

Sift the confectioner’s sugar into a wide bowl

Using a tablespoon, spoon the mixture into your hand rand roll it into tablespoon sized balls

Roll the cookie dough balls in the confectioner’s sugar and place on an non greased cookie sheet
