Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces milk chocolate mint candies
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, beating just until a soft dough forms.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the dough slightly and place 1 milk chocolate mint candy in the center. Fold the dough around the candy, sealing it completely, and reroll into a smooth ball.
Repeat this process with the remaining dough and candies, placing the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, roll each cookie in powdered sugar for a frosty, sweet finish.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
