1/2 teaspoon peppermint oil
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies to cream together properly and will result in a more tender cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and will prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
