Ingredients

1 cup Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
1-1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Peppermint Extract
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 whole Egg Whites
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Mint Chips (Guittard Or Others)

Directions

1

Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer if you don't possess a stand mixer), beat butter, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and vanilla until smooth.
2

Beat in egg whites until blended. Then beat in the flour, salt and mint chips.
3

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes or so, until dough is firm but easily scoopable.
4

Using a cookie scoop of your choice, or a spoon, roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet.
5

Now here's the part where your personal preference comes in. You can either take a glass, dip it in colored or white sugar, and slightly press the cookies down OR you can simply leave them. I found that either way, they will flatten out.
6

Bake in a 300-degree oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are barely brown and the middles look set. Let them cool on a cookie sheet for 5 or so minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
7

Note that prep times includes time for chilling the dough. Number of servings is approximate based on cookie size.
