Delicious buttery snowball cookies with a sweet peppermint flavor, and filled with chocolate chips. These Grinch snowball cookies are colored green for the Grinch and rolled in powdered sugar, giving them a snowball look. They are sweet and delicious, the perfect cooking for making at Christmas this year that everyone will love.
The dough for these cookies is similar to making classic snowball cookies, except instead of vanilla extract, peppermint extract is used. The dough is also colored green to represent the Grinch, and chocolate chips are added to the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into balls, and place onto a large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until the bottoms are lightly browned. These cookies do not spread out in the oven like other cookie dough. Once they are baked, roll them into a shallow dish of powdered sugar and set them onto cooling racks to cool completely before serving.
