Chocolate Mint Brownie Cookies
2 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Slowly add the remaining dry ingredients. mix until well blended. Dough will be sticky.

Bake at 350* for about 9-11 minutes or until firm. (you do not want under bake or over bake these cookies)Let cool.

Middle Layer
1 pkg Guittard green mint chips (melted)
I just put them in a microwave bowl and melted them on 50% power for just a few minutes.

Spread a layer of melted mint chips over the cookies. Put them into the fridge to let them set up for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the frosting.


Frosting
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
approx 1-2 tablespoons milk

Cream butter. Add vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Slowly add milk and let it mix in good before you add more or you will get it too runny. Beat until smooth and frost cookies. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
