¾ cup butter (no substitutes), softened
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
ICING:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon milk
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 to 2 drops green food coloring
DRIZZLE:
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ teaspoon shortening
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners’ sugar. Beat in chocolate and mint extract. Gradually add flour. Stir in chocolate chips. (Dough will be soft.)
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until firm. Cool for 4 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Meanwhile, combine icing ingredients; spread over cooled cookies. If desired, sprinkle crushed starlight mints over frosting. Let set. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Yield: 2 ½ dozen.

I just posted the recipes I already had saved on my computer. I have a lot more I have found on the internet, but I have not tried them yet. I will post those too if anyone wants to try them before I do! Just let me know.
This will keep me busy for a while. But the more the merrier, right?
