This cookie just says Christmas to me. Merushka makes these cookies and it is just one of our favorites.
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 T. softened butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Then place 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a glass bowl. Microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds to 1 minutes until chocolate it melted.
Beat butter, add sugar. Then beat in melted chocolate, eggs, vanilla, & mint. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Chill dough in the freezer until easy to handle (about 3o min).
Roll balls of dough (about 1 T. a piece) in powdered sugar. Place the coated balls in a cookie sheet and bake 10-12 min. at 350 until tops are crackled. Let them sit a minute on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
