Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp mint extract
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • A few drops green food coloring
  • Optional: 2 tbsp crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and mint extract until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing on low until just combined. If dough is too wet, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
  5. Shape dough into a rough rectangle, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat ½ cup softened unsalted butter with powdered sugar and green food coloring until smooth and creamy. Fold in crushed peppermint candies if using.
  7. Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface or between parchment paper into a ¼ inch thick rectangle about 12×9 inches.
  8. Spread the mint cream filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border around edges.
  9. Starting from a long edge, roll the dough into a tight log and pinch the seam to seal.
  10. Wrap the cookie log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the roll into ½ inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
  12. Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  13. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges start to turn golden.
  14. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and cracking. Use pure mint extract for best flavor. Wipe knife between slices for clean cuts. Watch baking time closely to avoid drying out cookies. Optional crushed peppermint candies add crunch.
