Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- few drops green food coloring
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup finely crushed Oreo cookies (about 6 cookies)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
- 1 teaspoon shortening.
Preparation
Step 1
Beat butter with electric mixer on high speed for 60 seconds. Add sugar and baking powder and beat until combined. Beat in egg, mint extract and enough food coloring to tint to a light to medium green. Beat in as much as the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Step 2
Roll one half of the dough between 2 sheets of wax paper into an 8x7 inch rectangle. Peel off top sheet of wax paper. Sprinkle half of the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over dough within 1/4 inch of all sides. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from one short side, removing bottom sheet of wax paper as you roll. Pinch to seal. Wrap roll in wax paper and chill for 4 hours or until firm. Repeat this process with other half of dough.
Step 3
Remove one roll of dough from the fridge. Unwrap from wax paper. Unwrap and reshape slightly, if necessary. Cut dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 4
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 8 to 9 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Remove and cool completely on wire racks. Repeat with remaining roll of dough. If desired, melt together chocolate and shortening in a heavy saucepan over low heat; drizzle over cookies.
