Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. mint extract
2 squares bitter chocolate, melted
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Sift first three dry ingredients; cream butter, sugar, eggs and extract. Add chocolate. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk. Divide dough in half. Cover tightly and chill for 2 hours. Shape in 1 inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes on greased cookie sheet.

These “crackle” during baking, so that the appearance is that of a “cracked” surface with powdered sugar on the higher parts of the surface.
