Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1/2 cup butter, the vanilla, egg and unsweetened chocolate with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour and salt.
2 Onto ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Press each with greased bottom of drinking glass dipped into sugar until about 1/4 inch thick.
3 Bake about 8 minutes or until set. Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4 In medium bowl, mix all frosting ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Spread frosting over each cookie to within 1/4 inch of edge.
5 In 1-quart saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter, the corn syrup and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Spoon or drizzle mixture over each cookie; sprinkle with crushed candies.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Make short work of crushing hard peppermint candies by placing them in a large food-storage plastic bag, chilling in the freezer, then lightly pounding candies inside the bag with the smooth side of a meat mallet or a small pot.

Use a spring-handled ice cream scoop to drop the dough onto the cookie sheet. Cookies will be the same size so they'll bake evenly.

I love these cookies! I made them 3 times over the holidays for different events and each time they turned out great. If you like peppermint, the frosting is amazing. Very addicting. I left off the crushed peppermints, because I thought it gave them a funny texture. Still tasted fantastic. Great recipe!!

These cookies were a huge hit last year! Our family makes cookies to give out every year and this was a favorite. We''ve had several people request them for this year and several others ask for the recipe.
