Peppermint Crush Cookies - Sugar Free

• Cookie
• 2/3 cup light butter
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
• 3/4 cup Splenda granular, sugar substitute
• 1/4 cup egg substitute
• 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Filling
• 8 ounces fat free cream cheese
• 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Splenda granular
• 30 hard sugar-free peppermint candies, very finely crushed, garnish

1. Blend together butter, melted chocolate and SPLENDA(R) Granular in a medium sized mixing bowl. Blend well. Add egg substitute and mint extract. Mix briefly. Add remaining ingredients. Mix using low speed or by hand until dough is formed. Do not over mix. Remove dough from bowl and divide in half. Chill dough in refrigerator 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F Roll out chilled dough on a floured work surface. Roll dough slightly less than 1/4 inch thick; dough puffs slightly while baking. Cut dough into small one inch circles. Place on lightly oiled cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 350F oven 7 to 9 minutes.
2. Blend filling ingredients together. Set aside. Sandwich the cookies with 3/4 teaspoon filling. Press together lightly. Spread any excess filling from the interior of the cookie around the outside of each cookie. This will help the crushed peppermint candies stick to the outside of the cookies. Roll cookies in crushed peppermint candies, so that the sides of each cookie are completely coated. Chill until ready to serve.
