Mint M&M Crinkle Cookies

Sharing is caring!

Soft and chewy mint cookies filled with mint chocolate M&Ms, and rolled in powdered sugar before baking. The powdered sugar makes the cookies more soft and gives them a crinkle look after they have baked. These easy mint cookies are perfect to bake for a fun St. Patrick’s day themed dessert.

The cookie dough is started similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except that instead of vanilla extract, mint extract is used instead. Fold mint M&Ms into the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into balls, then roll each one into a dish of powdered sugar. Place the cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
