Chocolate Mint Drizzle Cookies

These are the "Best. Ever. Chocolate mint drizzle cookies of amazingness"

Oven at 350°


Cookie:

2c sugar
1c butter
2t vanilla
2 eggs
4 1-oz squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted (I usually just nuke them in the microwave slowly and stir a few times till melted—careful not to burn!)
Mix those and then add:
2 c flour
1 t salt
Drop by the spoonful onto foil or ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 min or so (DON'T OVERBAKE!  Take them out as soon as the "glossy/wet" look disappears or they’ll be hard as rocks later.)

Frosting:

1/4 c. butter
2T corn syrup
6 oz semisweet chips (or half a regular sized bag)
Melt in saucepan, spread on cookies (this eventually hardens, making it difficult to spread, but you can reheat it over and over if needed; also, be careful to not put too much on the first cookies, or you won’t have enough to cover the rest of them).

Drizzle:

1 1/4 c powdered sugar
1/8 c butter, room temperature
1.5 T milk
1 to 1.5 t peppermint extract
(optional) food coloring
Whisk all together, put in ziplock bag and cut a hole at the tip to squeeze out/drizzle over the cookies.  Add more milk to make it more drizzly.

Enjoy!
