The tops of these brownie-like cookies look as if they've been shattered. Coat the balls of dough thoroughly in confectioners' sugar before they go in the oven. They'll flatten and "crack" on their own as they bake.

Provided by 20XCRunner12

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons green sugar crystals (optional)
mint truffles or candy cane, flavored hershey's kisses

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, and extracts until well blended.
  • Stir dry mixture into wet mixture until just combined. Cover bowl and refrigerate for two hours.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix powdered sugar and green sugar. Roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar mixture, and place 1 1/2 inches apart on parchment-lined cookies sheets.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes. While baking, unwrap Kisses. When cookies are done baking, immediately press a Kiss in each cookie. Place cookie sheet in refridgerator or freezer (Kisses will not hold their shape if allowed to cool at room temperature).
  • When Kisses are set, remove from refridgerator and store in an airtight container. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or dark chocolate will work well.
  • Be sure to finely chop the chocolate so that it melts evenly.
  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried mint.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate mixture. It should be thick and glossy, but not grainy.
  • Allow the chocolate mixture to cool completely before adding the Rice Krispies. This will help to prevent the Rice Krispies from getting soggy.
  • Press the Rice Krispies mixture firmly into the pan. This will help to keep the crackles from crumbling.
  • Chill the crackles for at least 30 minutes before cutting them. This will help them to set and make them easier to cut.
  • Store the crackles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
