-
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
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 to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1-1/2 cups sugar and the oil. Beat until well mixed. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour mixture; beat until combined. 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. Dip the bottom of a glass in additional sugar and flatten each cookie. Bake in preheated oven 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 unsweetened chocolate. Cook and stir over medium heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Let stand about 1 hour or until cool.
5. Spoon a rounded measuring teaspoon of the filling on the bottom of each of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, flat sides down, pressing lightly together. Makes about 36 sandwich cookies.
- Tip *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.
- Storage Place filled cookies in a single layer in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

These cookies have become a holiday tradition in my home. I also send them to my son, who has been overseas for several years now. He loves them and so does his buddies!

10/20/2010 12:15:30 PM Report AbuseI was browsing this recipe category and thought this filling might be great in the "Famous Chocolate Wafers" that you can buy in the store. I love just eating them, but with a mint filling, that could be what you think is missing from this.
10/20/2010 11:48:24 AM Report AbuseThe filling for the cookies is seriously addicting. It tastes just like a Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie. I was not a huge fan of the cookies though. I don¿t know what I would change, but something. I found it easiest to roll the dough in extra sugar rather than to sprinkle extra on top. I would make them again for chocolate lovers.
