I made these recently when I had a chocolate craving that would not go away. They definitely took care of that. I made the Mint Chocolate variation after I found a bag of Andes Mint Chocolate Baking Pieces at my grocery store that they had not previously carried. They were a nice treat for my 2 Mint Chocolate fans. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups butter or 1 1/4 cups margarine, softened |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth.
2. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
3. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
5. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
6. Yield: about 9 dozen.
7. **MINT CHOCOLATE VARIATION**.
8. Replace 1 of the teaspoons of vanilla with 1 teaspoons peppermint extract; replace semisweet chips with Andes Mint Chocolate Baking Pieces.
