Oh. My. Goodness. I love these cookies. They are so easy to make and everyone loves them. I get asked to bring these to a lot of gatherings, and everyone always wants the recipe. So, for public consumption of exquisite deliciousness, here it is!
Mix 3C flour, 2T baking soda, and 1/2t salt. In a small pan, melt 1-1/2 sticks butter with 1-1/2C brown sugar and 2T water. When melted, add 2C semisweet chocolate chips and stir til melted. Cool it a bit and beat in 2 eggs. Stir in the flour mixture. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F. Cool on racks.
For the filling, beat 1/3C softened butter with 3C confectioners sugar, 1/2t peppermint extract, and 1/4 C milk.
Now, spread a heaping teaspoon of filling on the bottom of one cookie. Put a second cookie on top. Fill all the cookies.
These keep very well in an airtight container. But they usually don’t last anytime at all!
I am in my early 50's, happily retired from almost 30 years as an R.N. For the first time, I can devote all my time to my husband, family, and home. My 4 year old granddaughter Nataly said the best thing about Grammy is her treats and eats, and that gave me the idea for this blog. I have spent a lot of time researching recipes on line and in cookbooks. I also became fascinated with the science side of cooking, enabling me to really understand why certain steps are absolutely necessary and what is achieved by doing them properly. Now that I know so much more about that, I am able to create wonderful recipes of my own.
I am married, and have six grown sons and five grandchildren, 2 girls and 3 boys. I live with my husband Doc and 94 year old mother in law Mabel. The three of us take care of each other! I love being a wife, mother, daughter, and Grammy. I love taking care of my family and my home. I LOVE cooking!
