I first made this recipe for a cookie swap about 5 years ago and it has been a Holiday staple ever since. These are fabulous cookies. Make sure you try one when it is still warm, it literally melts in your mouth. Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided |
6 tablespoons butter, softened (no substitutes) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon peppermint extract |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Melt 1 c chocolate chips in the microwave, cool. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beat well after each. Beat in melted chocolate chips, vanilla and peppermint extract.
2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in remaining chocolate chips; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
3. Roll into 1-inch balls then roll in confectioners' sugar. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set and centers are almost set. Cool for 10 min before removing to wire racks.
