In a mixing bowl, place fresh mint and sugar and blend with a hand blender.
Add the egg and butter to the mint and sugar mixture, and blend until well combined.
Add the flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Place them on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C(356°F) for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

Fresh Mint: Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
Butter Quality: Opt for high-quality butter to infuse the cookies with a rich and velvety flavor. Ensure the butter is at room temperature, facilitating its smooth integration into the dough.
Sugar Creaming Technique: Whisk the sugar and softened butter together until the blend achieves a light and fluffy consistency. This process is important l for making cookies that are tender with a well-textured quality.
Egg Incorporation: Add the egg and beat well to achieve a smooth and cohesive dough. This helps in creating a consistent texture in the cookies.
Accurate Measurement: Accurate measuring of flour and baking powder is crucial, as an excess or deficiency can affect the texture and leavening of the cookies. Utilize appropriate measuring tools and employ proper leveling techniques for precision.
Chilling the Dough: Achieve the best outcomes by refrigerating the cookie dough for a minimum of 30 minutes before baking. This process aids in firming up the fats within the dough, preventing over-spreading and contributing to a delightful chewiness in the final texture.
Uniform Cookie Size: Maintain uniformity in cookie portion sizes for even baking, guaranteeing that all cookies finish at the same time and exhibit a consistent appearance.
