Recipe Introduction


This sounds harder than it is!! The taste is worth the work.




List of Ingredients




1/2 cup Chocolate chips, divided
1/2 tsp Mint extract
3/4 cup Butter; softened
1/3 cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Salt


Recipe



Microwave chocolate chips at 50% power until melted, about 3 minutes; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature, set aside.

In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar; beat until creamy. Add egg,vanilla and mint extracts and blend well. Gradually beat in flour and salt.

Place 1 cup of dough in a small bowl. Add melted chips; blend thoroughly. Shape into a ball then flatten and cover with plastic wrap. Shape remaining dough into ball; flatten. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.

Between sheets of waxed paper, roll each ball of dough into a 13 x 9-inch rectangle. Remove top layers of waxed paper and invert the chocolate dough onto the plain dough. Peel off waxed paper. Starting from the long side, roll up jelly roll stype. Cut into 1/4-inch slices; place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-8 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.

May frost if desired (I use chocolate frosting, to which I have added a few drops of mint extract).
