Bake-Off® Contest 1, 1949 Prize Winner
The idea for this cookie came to the originator when she was given a package of mint-flavored chocolate candies. Brown sugar cookie dough is pressed around each candy so each cookie has a surprise chocolate mint in the center.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (6-ounce) packages solid mint candy chocolate wafers
60 walnuts halves or pieces
In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, margarine, water, vanilla and eggs; blend well. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Add to sugar mixture; mix at low speed until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours for easier handling.
Heat oven to 375°F. Using about 1 tablespoon dough, press dough around each candy wafer to cover completely. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Top each with walnut half.
Bake at 375°F. for 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.
