How to Make Hidden Chocolate Mint Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Unwrap individually-wrapped chocolate mints. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Flatten slightly and enclose a chocolate mint in the center. Reshape into a ball.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
