Time 2h

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F (if using dark or nonstick cookie sheet, heat oven to 350°F). In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1 cup butter and the vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk until smooth. Beat in flour and cocoa.
  • Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls 1 inch apart. With index finger or thumb, make indentation in center of each ball.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In small bowl, beat 1/4 cup butter and the powdered sugar on low speed until smooth. Beat in milk, peppermint extract and enough food color for desired color. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon filling into each cookie.
  • Place chocolate chips and shortening in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Microwave on High about 1 minute or until softened. Gently squeeze bag until chocolate is smooth; cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over cookies. Let stand about 1 hour or until chocolate is set.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as pictured. They were still good, but they didn't look as professional.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
