Better Homes And Gardens Chocolate Mint Cookies

Chocolate Mint Creams

Yes, for certain, it is cookie season. What would Christmas be without cookies? These are cookies I have made many times during the holiday season. It is a recipe out of a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook I got many years ago titled Cookies for Christmas. I have made many of the recipes from this cookbook and it is a standby book that comes out every year at this time.

1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅔ cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon water
1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
1 egg
½ pound pastel cream mint kisses

Beat egg into chocolate mixture. Stir in the flour mixture till well mixed. Dough will be soft. Cover and chill for 2 hours, or till easy to handle. (If you refrigerate overnight you will need to let dough sit on counter for about 30 minutes).

Return to the oven and bake about 2 minutes more or till cookies are done. Swirl the melted mints with a knife to "frost" cookies. Remove and cool til mints are firm. Makes about 48.
