Irresistible mint chocolate cookies that will leave you craving for more.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 drops green food color
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon shortening
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (or 350°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together granulated sugar, 1 cup of butter, and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk until smooth, then incorporate the flour and cocoa.
  • Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Gently press your index finger or thumb into the center of each ball to make an indentation.
  • Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until fully set. Remove promptly from the baking sheet onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  • Combine 1/4 cup butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl, beating on low speed until smooth. Mix in milk, peppermint extract, and food coloring to reach desired color. Fill each cookie with about 1/2 teaspoon of the filling.
  • Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a small resealable plastic bag. Microwave on High for 1 minute or until softened. Massage the bag until chocolate is smooth, then snip off a small corner. Drizzle chocolate over cookies and let it set for about 1 hour.
