Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One of my favorite things to bake is cookies, especially during the winter months and holidays! I recently tried a Chocolate Mint Thumbprint Cookie recipe that I found in one of my old Betty Crocker recipe books.

Next you will create your chocolate mixture by microwaving some chocolate chips, cream and butter until it is melted. Once the chocolate is smooth fill each of the cookie with the melted chocolate.

Next top each cookie with half of an Andes Chocolate Mint. You will then want to let cookies stand about an hour to allow chocolate to set.

    I forgot to add the peppermint extract, though these cookies are absolutely delicious without it! Without the mint, they taste like a shortbread cookie. They are very moist. No need for icing if one likes the taste of plain shortbread. They freeze well and taste just as good frozen as fresh. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
