Chocolate Mint Crisps Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min./batch + standing

Yield: 39 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 packages (4.67 ounces each) mint Andes candies

Directions

In a heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter and water. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate chips until melted.
Transfer to a bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. With mixer on high speed, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to chocolate mixture, beating on low until blended. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Roll dough into 1-in. balls. Place 3 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until edges are set and tops are puffed and cracked (cookies will become crisp after cooling).
Immediately top each cookie with a mint. Let stand for 1-2 minutes; spread over cookie. Remove to wire racks; let stand until chocolate is set and cookies are cooled. Yield: 6-1/2 dozen.

I made this for my family, and I didn't even have to melt the candies on top, and they wouldn't leave them alone!

These are delicious cookies, popular with everyone. I have a question, though. Have you other bakers noticed this cookie gets a little flat, or did I do something wrong?

Although these are tasty now that they are done, I made them exactly as the recipes directs except I made a double batch in my KitchenAid mixer and refrigerated it overnight with the lid on. Oh my, it was like concrete when I got it out the next day to make them. Had to have my boyfriend chip the batter in chunks in order for me to work with it. What did I do wrong?!

Nice crispy cookie, everyone loved the mint flavor. Certainly made the "hit" list for the 2012 Christmas. Definite do-over:)

Fantastic!!! I was baking for a crowd, so I rolled them small and used 1/2 an andes on each. I loved the flavor, and if you spread the candy gently it leaves a beautiful swirl on top :)

These cookies were so easy, and absolutely delicious! Mine were chewy instead of crispy, which I like better anyway!

Heavenly. Cook 11 minutes for soft and chewy, 13 minutes for crispy.

This has become one of my "must-make" cookie recipes at Christmas time. Rich chocolate, festive mint -- beautifully glazed cookies that freeze well -- this recipe is everything I look for in a Christmas cookie!
