September 29, 2006, Newsletter Issue #144: Starlight Mint Surprise Cookies

Tip of the Week

2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2-3 pkgs. chocolate mint wafers (the rectangular kind if you canīt find round)

In large bowl, combine all ingredients except mint wafers, and beat at low speed until dough forms. Chill dough at least 2 hours.

Form about two teaspoons of dough around each chocolate mint wafer, making sure to cover the candy completely. Smooth edges and bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375 degrees for 9 to 12 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet immediately. You can glaze these with some melted chocolate, or top them with a walnut or pecan half before baking, if you like.
