This recipe reminds me of eating candy canes, fudge and brownies during the holidays. That's why it's one of my favorites. Sometimes I even[ crush a candy cane and sprinkle it over the top before the glaze sets. Most of the time I ignore the measurement for the mint and just add as much as I like. This way everyone can add their own personal touch to these cookies.] Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature |
1 cup packed light brown sugar |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups chocolate chips |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 drops mint extract, or more to taste |
3 1/2 teaspoons water |
Directions:
1. For the cookies:
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. In a medium bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a mixer beat together the butter with the sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add in the vanilla. On a low speed beat in the flour mixture a little at a time. Gently mix in chocolate chips.
4. On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop teaspoons of the batter about 2 inches apart. Bake until just cracked on top, about 8 to10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking time. Cool completely.
5. For the glaze:
6. In a small bowl mix together the sugar; mint extract and water until smooth. Transfer mixture to a medium resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. Let cookies stand until set, about 10 minutes.
