Chocolate Peppermint Patty Cookies

YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY! VERY CHOCOLATY! Pricey with all the chocolate in them, but a definate item for special occasions. WARNING: Do not eat these cookies after 4pm or they will keep you awake all night. I deleted the peppermint flavoring - the candy canes were enough. I had to add more powdered sugar to make the frosting thick enough to roll in the candy cane; otherwise, runny mess. Also, dries out quickly. Best eaten within 24-48 hours.

The powdered sugar filling was a mess. It was way too thin. I tried thickening it up by adding a lot more powdered sugar, but that took away from the peppermint taste. Now it tasted like a powdered sugar filling. Even after I added more sugar, I still could not roll the cookies in the peppermint candy. It was a sticky mess. I ended up throwing the filling away and eating the cookies plain.
