Ingredients
- Mint Chocolate Cookie
1/2 cup 1/2 sugar
1/2 cup 1/2 unsalted butter
1 1 egg
1 teaspoon 1 peppermint extract
1 cup 1 flour
1/2 cup 1/2 cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon 1/4 salt
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 baking powder
- Mint Chocolate Coating
15 oz 15 semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 vegetable or coconut oil
Directions
- Mint Chocolate Cookie
- Cream together the butter and sugar, then add in the egg and peppermint extract
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Flatten the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll to 1/4″ thickness. Remove the top sheet of parchment and use a 2″ round cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Continue to roll out the dough between the parchment paper and cut out the cookies until all dough is used. Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes.
- Once the cookies cool, prepare the mint chocolate coating.
- Mint Chocolate Coating
- Add the semi-sweet chocolate and oil to a bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Mix in the peppermint extract.
- Use a fork to dip each cookie into the chocolate. Make sure they are fully coated and try your best to shake off any excess chocolate. Place on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Refrigerate the cookies for up to a week.
