Minty Cocoa Fudge Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup  unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons  baking powder
  • 1 1/3 cups  butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups  sugar
  • 1/4 cup  cooking oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon  vanilla
  • Sugar
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 10 ounce package mint-flavor semisweet chocolate pieces*
  • 2 ounces  unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
Directions

1. In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder; set aside.

2. In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1-1/2 cups sugar and the oil. Beat until combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in flour mixture. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass dipped in additional sugar. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or just until firm. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool.

4. For filling, in a small saucepan combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate pieces, and chopped chocolate. Cook and stir over medium heat until chocolate melts; cool.

5. Spread filling on bottoms of half of the cookies, using 1 rounded teaspoon per cookie. Top with remaining cookies, bottom sides down, pressing lightly together.

From the Test Kitchen*Tip:
  • If you can't find mint-flavor semisweet chocolate pieces, use 1-1/2 cups regular semisweet chocolate pieces and stir 1/4 teaspoon mint extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
To Store:
