- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until dough is just-combined. Transfer dough to a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Refrigerate until dough firms, at least 2 hours.

MINT SURPRISE COOKIES
This cookie is a Christmas tradition started by my grandmother. She used to always mail them along with her "Minnesota Bars" (#162331). I have a note on the recipe card that it was originally a winner in Pillsbury's 1st Grand National by Miss Laura Rott of Naperville, Illinois. (One bite and you'll know why it won.) The original recipe called for one package of Rockwood Chocolate Mint Wafers. I've never been able to find them in the store so I use Andes Mint Baking Pieces. I'm sure you could also melt regular chocolate chips and add a little mint flavoring as well. I posted the "refrigerator cookie" method because I think it's easier. You can also chill dough for just two hours, then enclose chocolate in 1 tbsp. of dough. Bake according to directions. COOKING TIME INCLUDES FOUR HOURS OF CHILLING.

CHOCOLATE MINT SURPRISE CHRISTMAS COOKIES
These look great for christmas treats for kids to leave for Santa and they will have a blast making for him! I know that my kids don't care for the normal peppermint candy canes yet, so you can probably omit those and add more of the mini chocolate chips instead! I also found them to be egg free, which should be great for those allergic or don't care for them and they still worked out great! As for the amount of Hershey kisses to use, I am not sure on the size of bags they come in, so I am guessing on the amount for the ingredients. You can probably add more or less to suit for the recipe. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Using a medium sized ziploc bag, crush the candy canes in little pieces. Cut the hershey kisses in half. I found that a whole hershey kiss was too much for the cookies, but a half one is perfect!
- Heat your oven to 375.
- Add the butter to a stand or hand-held mixer and mix well until smooth. Add the sugars and mix well. Add the almond and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour and mix very well on low speed until well mixed.
- With a wooden spoon mix in the crushed candy canes and the mini chocolate chips well.
- Scoop out a teaspoon of dough and add one half of a hershey kiss. Roll up the dough in a ball to keep the kiss inside! Place the dough balls on a parchment covered cookie pan and bake for 10-12 minutes and golden. Allow them to cool for about 2 minutes before removing from the pan and allow to cool. I have found having a sheet of tin foil on your table or counter works great in cooling cookies!
- In a medium sauce pan, add the white chocolate chips and the 6 tablespoons of shortening. Melt slowly on medium/low heat as not to burn the chocolate.
- Divide the melted chocolate into 3 cups. In the first two cups, add a bit of green and a bit red food coloring seperately to the shades that you like. Using a fork, drizzle the colored chocolate over the cookies to decorate. The kids will love this part! Enjoy!

STARLIGHT MINT SURPRISE COOKIES
These cookies won $10,000 for Miss Laura Rott from Naperville, Illinois in a long ago Pillsbury Baking Contest. I can remember my mother making them for us and how good they were. I still have the original recipe that my mother used and since the paper is becoming a little brittle, I'm going to copy it here so I won't damage the original.

- Cream together the butter and Crisco.
- Add sugars and mix well. Add unbeaten eggs, water and vanilla and mix well.
- Blend in the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Chill dough.
- Open and unwrap the chocolate mint wafers (Eight O'Clock or Andres)
- Enclose each wafer in about 1 Tablespoon of dough and top each cookie with a walnut half.
- Place on ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in moderate oven (recipe says 375°)for 10-12 minutes. You might consider a moderate oven to be 350°.
Tips:
- Use fresh mint leaves. Dried mint leaves will not provide the same flavor or aroma.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
Mint Surprise Cookies are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different colors of sprinkles or other toppings. Whether you are looking for a festive cookie for a holiday party or a simple snack to enjoy with your family, Mint Surprise Cookies are sure to please everyone.
