For an extra burst of mint flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the dough along with the vanilla. If the dough is too sticky to work with after chilling, lightly flour your hands and the work surface. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepCream: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (5-7 minutes)
03
StepIncorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. (2 minutes)
04
StepCombine Dry and Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3-5 minutes)
05
StepChill the Dough: Transfer the dough to a resealable plastic bag, removing excess air before sealing. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the dough to firm up. (120 minutes)
06
StepAssemble the Cookies: Divide the chilled dough into 42 equal portions. Wrap one dough portion around each unwrapped mint candy, ensuring the mint is completely encased. Place the wrapped cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (20-30 minutes)
07
StepBake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown. (10-12 minutes)
08
StepMelt Remaining Mints: While the cookies are baking, melt the remaining chocolate mint candies in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. (1-3 minutes)
09
StepDrizzle and Cool: Once the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the melted mint chocolate over the cooled cookies. (30 minutes)
