Candy Cane Cookie-Stuffed Snowcaps

Candy Cane Cookie-Stuffed Snowcaps

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
20 Candy Cane Jo-Jo's or Peppermint Oreos
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.  In a large bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and granulated sugar until creamy.  Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well combined.  Beat in melted chocolate until well combined.  Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until just combined.

Shape dough into 20 balls.  Chill the dough for a few minutes if it's too sticky.  Place a dough ball in your hand and flatten it as thin as possible without having it fall apart; place a cookie into the center.  Wrap dough around cookie and smooth.  Repeat process with remaining dough balls.  Roll balls in confectioners' sugar until coated.  Place on cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart.  Bake 15 minutes, or until well risen, set, and crackled.  Cool 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
