Experimental Peppermint Cookies

Our daughter came up with her very own mint cookie recipe, so today, we baked them.  Turned out to be delicious!

Mint Star Cookies

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
• 3 sticks of soft butter
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder

Directions

• Mix in the above order.
• Cool dough in the fridge for half an hour or longer.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Roll out the dough in batches and cut into star shapes.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown, and enjoy!

These cookies are only mildly sweet, so icing can be added while the cookies are still warm, if desired.
