Ingredients 

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide dough in half. Add peppermint extract and green food coloring to one half. Add cocoa powder and milk to the other half. Mix each until combined.
  6. Roll out each dough half into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cut each rectangle into strips.
  7. Arrange strips in a checkerboard pattern, pressing gently to adhere. Cut into squares.
