1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons 2% milk |
1 cup fresh mint, finely chopped |
1-2/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon shortening |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in mint. Shape into two 8-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap.
