If you have some fresh mint, you can surprise everyone by preparing this recipe for delicious homemade mint cookies, whose elaboration does not have any difficulty. Prepared in the oven, you will have them ready in about 30 minutes.
You can use molds if you want to give them a shape that you want more, although at home we love them that way, rustic and irregular. After baking them, you can bathe them in chocolate, sprinkle them with icing sugar or leave them as is. They always turn out great.
I have put the quantities to use an egg and 100 g of butter, so that if you want to make more, it is very easy to calculate. By doubling or tripling the amounts indicated, you will get two or three times as many cookies. With what we indicate in ingredients, you will get approximately 10 cookies.
Wash the mint and separate the leaves, discarding the stems. Crush the clean mint leaves with the sugar. Then we add an egg and the butter, and keep working until we get a sticky paste.
Add the flour and chemical yeast or baking powder. We mix well giving surround movements and once we have the homogeneous mass we let it rest for a few minutes, better in the fridge. We form the cookies by making some walnut-sized balls.
Then we crush them slightly and place them separated in a baking dish covered with parchment paper. We preheat the oven at 180ºC and when it reaches that temperature, we put the cookies in and bake them for 20 minutes. We will know that they are ready if when looking at them below they already have a golden color.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before eating them as when hot, they can be indigestible. In addition, this way they harden a little, becoming more crunchy. We serve them sprinkled with icing sugar and decorate the plate with some mint florets so that there is no doubt about its flavor.
