Chocolate Mint Snow Top Cookies {Crinkle Cookies}

Chocolate Mint Snow Top Cookies are a twist on crinkle cookies, a classic holiday cookie recipe.

Remember a couple of weeks ago I mentioned having gone through my mom’s recipe file looking for some recipe inspiration? Well, I found several recipes I was anxious to try and the recipe for these Chocolate Mint Snow Top Cookies was one of them! One thing I’m discovering about older recipes is that some of the ingredients called for are either not referred to as such any more. Like oleo – does anyone remember what that is? It’s margarine. But I prefer to use all butter in my baking. Or the ingredients are no longer made. This recipe originally called for chocolate mint chips which I could not find. Maybe they do still exist somewhere, but Nestle doesn’t make them anymore and I couldn’t find a store brand equivalent at my local grocery store. So, I modified this recipe a bit to get that minty flavor with regular chocolate chips.

These are a delicious soft and chewy chocolaty bite of goodness and a pretty cookie with their snowy white and chocolate crackled look. They would be perfect for any holiday table! And other than the time it takes to chill the dough, they are pretty quick and easy to make as well. I did learn that they can be pretty squishy right out of the oven so be sure to leave them on the pan for the two minutes suggested. Otherwise, your cookies will squish back up when you try to remove them with your spatula.

I hope you give this recipe for chocolate mint snow top cookies a try!

Just a few simple ingredients is all it takes to make these minty chocolate cookies! Rolling them in powdered sugar before baking gives them the snowy, crackled look!
