Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cup semisweet chocolate pieces

  • 6 tablespoon butter, softened

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla

  • ¼ teaspoon mint flavoring

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of the chocolate pieces over low heat until melted, stirring constantly.

  2. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Beat in sugar until fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate, eggs, vanilla, and mint flavoring.

  3. Gradually beat in the flour mixture and remaining chocolate pieces. Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm enough to shape into balls.
