Prep: 40 min. Bake: 10 min. + cooling

Yield: 40 Servings

40 10 50

Ingredients

1 tube (18 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
Coarse sugar
40 chocolate-covered thin mints

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the cookie dough, flour and extract until blended. Roll into 1/2-in. balls.
Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Coat the bottom of a glass with cooking spray, then dip in coarse sugar. Flatten balls with prepared glass to 1/4-in. thickness, dipping in additional sugar as needed.
Bake at 350° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Carefully remove one cookie from baking sheet. Immediately turn cookie over and place a mint on the bottom of the cookie; top with another cookie, pressing lightly. Repeat with remaining cookies and mints. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 40 cookies.

Editor’s Note: This recipe was tested with Necco chocolate-covered thin mints.
