In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, and baking powder until just combined. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in melted chocolate. 2. Beat in as much flour as you can with mixer. Stir in remaining flour. 3. Drop dough by slightly rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheet. 4. Spread each dollop to about 2-inches diameter. 5. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are firm. Immediately (while still warm) top half of the cookies with the chocolate covered mints or chocolate pieces. Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Cool completely. 6. To assemble, let ice cream stand for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Place about 2 tablespoons ice cream on the flat side of the cookies without the candy toppers. 7. Carefully place the candy-topped cookies on top of the ice cream, flat side down. Press cookie gently in the center to slightly flatten sandwich. 8. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap; freeze for 2 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Freeze for up to 1 month. Makes 18 sandwiches.
