Ingredients
  • 1 bag mint chocolate candies or candy bars (7–8 oz)
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter

  • 3 large eggs (or ¾ cup egg substitute)
  • ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder

Steps
  1. Chop chocolate. Melt butter in large bowl. Add granulated sugar to butter, then beat with electric mixer on HIGH until combined. Beat in eggs and extract, if using, until combined and fluffy.
  2. Add flour and cocoa, beating until dough forms, then stir (fold) in chocolate until blended. Chill dough 1 hour or until firm.
