0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
0.25 teaspoons salt
0.5 cups butter , softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
0.5 teaspoons mint extract

Instructions

1

Beat 1/2 cup butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add sugar and beat until mixed well. Beat in egg and mint extract.

Sift flour, cocoa, and salt together into a small bowl. Add flour mixture, in two portions, into creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.

Divide dough in half. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into two 1 1/2-inch diameter cylinders. Wrap each cylinder in waxed paper; refrigerate 5 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place both cylinders in the freezer 30 minutes before baking.

Melt chocolate and 1/4 cup butter in a double boiler or the microwave. Drizzle over warm cookies. Place cookies on a wire rack to cool and harden completely.
