Welcome to this year's Christmas countdown! First one (#24) are these tasty gems. They are delightfully chocolatey and minty--excellent balance of both. Plus a gently crispy outside and chewy inside--mmm!

Original recipe is from the Easy Everyday Cooking card collection.
Recipe below contains my modifications.
Ingredients:
3/4 c. dark brown sugar
6 T. butter (I used salted, think you could sub unsalted)
1 T. water
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 egg
1 1/2 c. (180g) all-purpose flour
5/8 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. mint extract (could sub peppermint extract)
powdered sugar, for coating
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
2. Add the dark brown sugar, butter, water, and chocolate chips to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in short bursts (15-20 sec, possibly more or less depending on your model) and stir after each burst, until melted and smooth.
3. Let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes, then add the egg. Using an electric mixer, beat in the egg until well combined.
4. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Add this dry mixture to the chocolate mixture and beat with electric mixer until just combined.
5. Beat in the mint extract.
6. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Form 1" balls of the chocolate dough and roll in the powdered sugar to coat.
7. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the balls around 2" apart.
8. Bake for 10 min, then remove and let rest on the sheet for around 4-5 min before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
