Chocolate Mint Crisps Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 39 Servings
20 13 33

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.

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!

These were excellent and easy; mine too were soft but I liked them that way. These reminded me of Thin Mints.

Mine were more soft and chewy than crispy but still delicious. I will definitely make again! sb
