I got this recipe from the newspaper 30 years ago but it is still a family favorite. Not the easiest to make but well worth the effort!

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup(s) butter, softened
1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 - egg
6 ounce(s) chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup(s) light corn syrup
1 3/4 cup(s) flour
2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- granulated sugar
50-60 - andes creme de menthe mint wafers, halved

Steps:

  • Combine butter, sugar, and egg in a large mixing bowl and beat until light and creamy. Blend in melted chocolate chips and corn syrup.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into chocolate mixture. Chill several hours or overnight.
  • Using rounded 1/4 teaspoon of dough, shape into a ball and roll in granulated sugar. Repeat for all dough and place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove each batch from oven and let stand just a few seconds. DO NOT COOL. Turn half of each batch upside down and top with a mint candy half. Top with a second cookie. Place in the freezer on a flat tray or cookie sheet to harden.
  • HINT: This dough becomes sticky and hard to manage at room temperature. Return remaining dough to the refrigerator between batches.
