This is a Martha Stewart (from her magazine) recipe that I have wanted to make for over a year. Finally found the time to make them and boy am I glad that I did. Chewy like brownies, with a hint of mint....Hmmmm.....Delicious!
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and cocoa in a small bowl.
Whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in melted chocolate and mint extract until smooth. Stir in flour mixture. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls using your palms, then roll in confectioners' sugar to coat. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 1 inch apart. Bake until slightly firm in the center, about 15 minutes.
Let cool slightly on sheets set on wire racks. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.
Notes:
Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or rolled into balls and frozen for up to 2 weeks. Roll in confectioners' sugar just before baking. Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Folks - I am a good cook, but I am not a baker. These are easy and amazing. The one thing I learned was that they are very soft when they come out of the oven. You must let them cool on the baking sheets for a minute or two and then transfer to a wire rack. Otherwise, you will have Chocolate-mint Crackle pieces on your hands!!!
