Calories: 589kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsaled butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 (12) oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
filling
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup butter room temperature
- 2-3 Tbsp whole milk
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract or more depending on how strong you like it
- pinch of salt
- 2-3 drops of green (or red) food coloring
Instructions
- In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and stir with a heatproof spatula. Remove mixture from heat. Add in water, then chocolate chips, stir until chips have melted.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Gradually fold in dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1½” balls and place on a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 8-11 minutes at 350˚. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies are cooling, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together butter for 30 seconds on high. Turn mixing speed to low, gradually add the powdered sugar on cup at a time. Once the mixture has incorporated, add milk, salt, peppermint extract and food coloring. Gradually turn speed up and continue beating for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Place filling into a bag and pipe onto one side of a cooled cookie. Place a “top” on it (you will want to try to match up similar size/shape ones). Allow cookies to sit for 30 minutes before eating.
