- ½ cup melted butter (113.4 g / 4 oz)
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- ¼ teaspoon mint extract
- green food coloring
Filling:
- 113 g / 4 oz. milk chocolate chips or chunks (½ cup)
- 59.1 g / 2 oz. whipping cream (¼ cup)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix cookie ingredients together. Cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven at 180°C / 350°F. Put 1 inch balls onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart (cookies spread a lot while baking).
- Bake cookies for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before transferring cookies to a wire rack; cool completely.
- Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cream and the chocolate; microwave for 30 minutes and mix (if chocolate is not completely melted, heat it for another 10 seconds). Chill for 20 minutes or until spreading consistency.
- Spread chocolate on bottoms of half of the cookies (about 1 teaspoon per cookie). Top with the remaining cookies.
