I got this recipe from my newest cookbook called "1001 cupcakes, cookies and other tempting treats" I know it will be great for my diet!!! Heres the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/3 cup candied cherries, finely chopped
15 Andes mints (or more depending on how many cookies you can out of the dough)
semi sweet chocolate pieces (I used about a bag of chunk chocolate chips)
white chocolate chips (I used about a cup)
Directions:
Beat butter and sugar together until fluffy. Then, beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, cocoa and salt and add into mixture along with cherries and STIR until combined (don't beat it makes it crumbly instead of binding it together). Halve the dough and chill for 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with wax/parchmant paper. Roll out dough between to sheets of wax paper (it is too sticky not to). Cut out cookies in square or rectangular shapes. Bake 10-15 minutes until cookies are firm. Place mints on cookies right from oven, then cover with remaining cookies. Let cool on baking sheets.
Melt semi-sweet chocolate. Place cookies on cooling rack and spoon chocolate over cookies, and let set. Melt white chocolate and pipe or drizzle over cookies.
YUMMMM!!!! SOOO Tasty!!!
