Ingredients
- cookies
- 100 g of butter cut into cubes
- 135 g of plain flour sifted, all purpose
- 20 g of cocoa
- ½ cup of caster sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- PEPPERMINT CREAM
- 250 g of icing sugar sifted
- ¼ tsp of peppermint essence
- 2 tbsp of hot water
- chocolate coating
- 400 g of 70% cocoa chocolate chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 celsius (350 farenheit) and prepare two baking trays by lining them with baking paper.
- To make the cookies, combine the butter, sugar and egg yolk in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until well combined. Add the flour and cocoa and process until it starts to come together in a ball.
- Remove the dough from the food processor and divide into two and flatten into a disc and wrap each disc in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.
- Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator and roll out between two sheets of baking paper until approximately 6mm thick. Using a small circular cookie cutter cut circles from the dough and place onto the prepared baking tray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Roll out the second disc of dough while the first is baking and then bake that when the first tray is done.
- Leave the cookies to cool on the tray until firm and then place on a wire wrack to cool.
- Once the cookies are cooled make the peppermint cream. Combine the icing sugar, peppermint essence and hot water until it makes a smooth spreadable paste.
- Spread the icing mixture onto the cookies and leave to set.
- Once the icing has set, place a sheet of baking paper until the wire wrack to catch any chocolate drips. Melt the chocolate over a pot of simmering water and once melted remove from the heat. Dip each cookie in the chocolate and return to the wire wrack to set.
Notes
- I used Peppermint Essence from Baking Pleasures, which I found quite strong. You may need to use more or less peppermint essence depending on the brand you use.
