If you love chocolate and mint you are sure to love this homemade version of the Girl Scout Cookies. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup white sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon mint extract |
3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1/4 cup butter |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter or margarine until creamy. Add the sugar, and beat until mixed well. Beat in egg and mint extract.
2. Sift flour, cocoa, and salt together into a small bowl. Add flour mixture by halves into creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
3. Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface roll dough into two 1 1/2 inch diameter cylinders. Wrap each cylinder in waxed paper, and refrigerate 5 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thirty minutes prior to baking, place both cylinders in freezer.
5. Remove one cylinder at a time, and slice 1/4 inch thick pieces with very sharp knife. Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine and the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle over warm cookies. Place on wire racks, and let cool and harden completely.
