Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well blended. Stir in flour, cocoa and salt until dough forms.
2 Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart. Press thumb or end of wooden spoon into center of each cookie, but do not press all the way to the cookie sheet.
3 Bake 7 to 11 minutes or until edges are firm. If necessary, quickly remake indentations with end of wooden spoon. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips until melted. Cool about 10 minutes or until thickened.
5 Spoon rounded 1/2 teaspoon filling into indentation in each cookie. Top with decors.

When i first tried these cookies they honestly aren't that amazing. Maybe its just me, because im so picky about the things i make. But once i took them to a party, everyone said they loved them. I guess they all thought it was delicious. The cookies themselves aren't sweet. But the peppermint and chocolate frosting is supposed to even it out to make them sweet. Overall, i plan on making them again if they satisfy others.
