Chocolate Mint 3 Musketeers Cookies

I was checking out at the grocery store the other day and noticed some new(at least I've never seen them before) 3 Musketeers Mint with Dark Chocolate bars. I decided to try them. They are YUMMY!! They remind me a lot of the York Mint Patties, but stiffer, make sense? Anyway, my son needed to bake some cookies for a scouting requirement, so we threw some of these candy bars into the mix. The end result is YUMMY!! My little guy couldn't wait for me to snap the picture to grab another one of these cookies:)

Chocolate Mint 3 Musketeers Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Crisco shortening
• 2 t vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 t salt
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/3 cup baking cocoa
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 3 3 Musketeers Mint with Dark Chocolate bars(6 pieces, 2 per package)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375. Beat first 5 ingredients together. Mix the dry ingredients together, unless you are lazy like me. If you are lazy like me and don't want to dirty another bowl to mix the dry ingredients, turn your mixer on low and add dry ingredients one at a time. I only mix for a second with each dry ingredient so that I don't over mix it. I add the flour last and mix until everything is mixed in well. Add you candy bars. You can chop your candy bars first, but I just through them in and turn the mixer on high for a few seconds and that gets them all chopped up and mixed in. Take ~1 T of dough, roll it into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Now...ENJOY!
