Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  4. Melt 1 cup of the mint chocolate morsels in the bowl, stirring until smooth; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large mixer bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
  6. Add the melted mint chocolate and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
  7. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  8. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  9. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of mint chocolate morsels by hand.
  10. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm.
  11. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  12. Coat each ball thoroughly in confectioners' sugar.
  13. Place the coated balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  14. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops appear cracked but the centers are still soft.
  15. Let the cookies stand on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to set.
  16. Remove cookies from the sheets and cool completely on wire racks.
