Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies:
Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 3/4 C margarine 1 and a half sticks
- 2 C semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda

- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Mix until melted.
- Beat your eggs with a fork and then stir them into the chocolate mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir them in until completely combined.
- Roll into one inch balls and drop onto a cookie sheet (preferably with a Silpat mat). If you don't have a Silpat mat make sure you have a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 7-8 minutes. Cookie should be just starting to have cracks in it.
- Use a Ziploc bag full of your frosting to squeeze about a Tablespoon onto a cookie. Sandwich with another cookie.

Chocolate and mint is one of my favorite combinations of ingredients! And in my book, a sandwich cookie counts a single cookie–always. 😉

Did not turn out at all 🙁 makes me so sad to waste good ingredients. The Frosting was way too watery and took well over 3 cups of powdered sugar to get a thicker consistency. The cookies themselves spread and ran all over my cookie sheets. I made sure to follow the recipe to a T (I am very careful when trying new recipes) The cookies (that I was able to salvage) also taste very bland…not sure where I went wrong. Bummer!

Bummer! Did you use margarine or butter? Butter will make them spread more. And did you add extra flour? I had to add more flour to make them so that I could roll them into balls.
