 Ingredients List

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • FROSTING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring, optional

 Directions

Cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add chocolate, egg and vanilla; mix well. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture, beating well. Divide dough in half; shape each into a 2-in.-diameter roll. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°. Unwrap dough and cut crosswise into 1/8-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are firm, 7-8 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Combine all frosting ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread over cookies; let dry completely. Store in airtight containers.
