These are my son's favorite cookie. I have made them at Christmas for the past several years. We just had a cookie exchange at work and my boss even wanted the recipe. The only thing I do differently is omit the mint flavoring. The chocolate is just right!! Fast and easy to make. I use a cookie scoop, drop the dough into a plastic bag with powdered sugar and shake - makes that part much easier and not quite as messy!! Using the cookie scoop, I can get 60 cookies out of 1 recipe.
