I adore a soft-baked sugar cookie. The kind that almost melts in your mouth. I also seriously struggle with those gorgeous hand-decorated flooded sugar cookies. That type of finesse and hand/finger coordination, I cannot compete, so I’ll stick with these no-chill soft-baked morsels of holiday peppermint yum instead.

The Taste of Peppermint

Peppermint is certainly the flavour of the Christmas season but to keep it all on the level with you…I’m kinda hit or miss on it. I much prefer a subtle peppermint taste as a pairing but not as a strong stand-alone type flavour. If you’re a peppermint fiend though feel free to add in another ½ tsp of extract into these cookies for a stronger kick. And don’t forget these fun festive flavoured sprinkles. They really level up the cute and tasty cookie game.

Instructions

EQUIPMENT:

• Stand Mixer

• Cookie Tray

• Cookie Scoop

• Parchment Paper

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar on high for 3 minutes until light and fluffy with the paddle attachment.

3. Add in egg, honey, yogurt, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and mix on high for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix on low until fully incorporated and a dough forms.

5. Mix in the sprinkles until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Using a 1 ½ tbsp. cookie scoop drop the cookie dough onto parchment-lined cookie trays approximately 2 inches apart and bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are just barely light golden brown and the centers appear slightly under-baked.

7. Let cool on the tray for at least 10 minutes before removing it to a cookie rack to fully cool. Enjoy!
