Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough begins to form.
Step 5
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dough balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 8
Once chilled, roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat them generously. If desired, re-roll them a second time for a thicker sugar coating.
