Since my son was young we have made these cookies at Christmas time. I hope I will be able to make them with my grandkids next year. They are also known as Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. This is from the back of a Nestle's mint chocolate chip package many years ago.
6 Tbsp of softened butter (3/4 stick)
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp peppermint extract
1 ½ C flour
1 ½ tsp baking POWDER
1 tsp salt
10 X powdered sugar
Combine
flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Melt 1 C of the chocolate chips. In microwave- 1
minute on high. Stir. Heat in 30 sec. increments until melted.
(You can use hand mixer). In a large bowl, cream
butter and sugar. Add melted chocolate, vanilla, and peppermint. Mix well. Add
eggs last so hot melted chocolate does not “cook” them.
By hand, mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Add in
the ½ C of chocolate chips. Mix well.
Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap and put in freezer for
20 minutes.
Put 10 X sugar in a bowl. Make 1 Tbsp balls of the
dough and roll in 10 x sugar. Put on Ungreased cookie sheet or lined with
parchment paper.
Bake 8-10 minutes. Leave on cookie sheet to cool. They
will seem uncooked when you remove them but will end up chewy
when left to cool on the cookie sheet. Sift or sprinkle 10x sugar on warm
cookies, if desired.
Makes about 6 dozen small cookies.
Dough can be frozen for later use. Roll into balls and
freeze separately on a cookie sheet or pan. Put in a freezer bag once frozen. Roll
in 10X sugar after thawing and before baking.
