Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Christmas

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
10 oz (1 1/2 cups) chocolate chips, divided
6 Tbsp (3/4 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp mint extract
2 eggs
Confectioners sugar for rolling and dusting

Steps:

  • In bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt and mix together. Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in microwave or over double boiler on the stove, and stir until smooth. In mixer bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and mint extract to the butter mixture and beat together until blended. Beat in eggs. Gradually mix in flour until just blended in. Gently stir in remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 350. Cover or wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until very firm. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, roll them in a thick layer of confectioners sugar, and place 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until tops are crackly but cookies are still soft in middle. Let stand on cookie sheet 5 minutes and then move to cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies be chewy and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes: This will help the cookies get a nice golden brown color.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help the cookies set and prevent them from falling apart.
