Chocolate Mint Creams image

I found this recipe in a Better Homes and Gardens Book. "Cookies For Christmas" These taste like little mint frosted brownies. I make them every year at Christmas. It's the only time I can find the mints. They have always been a big hit with company but nobody wants to make them because they look to hard. They are surprisingly easy and very tasty. The first ones gone on a cookie tray. I use Allan Misty mints but you can use any pastel mints. The recipe program wouldn't let me add them to the ingredient list.

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 egg

Steps:

  • Stir together flour and baking soda and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan heat together brown sugar, butter and water until melted.
  • Add chocolate chips and melt in butter and sugar mixture.
  • Pour into mixing bowl and let stand to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add eggs into chocolate mixture and beat.
  • Stir in flour mixture until mixed well.
  • Chill for 2 hours, any more and the dough will be too firm.
  • Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.
  • Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 8 minutes.
  • Top each cookie with a mint (I use 2 because I can only find small mints) and return to oven for 2 more minutes. The program wouldn't let me put theses into the recipe.
  • Remove from oven and swirl the soft mints like frosting.
  • Place on cookie racks until the mints firm.
