CRISPY CHOCOLATE-MINT COOKIES



Crispy Chocolate-Mint Cookies image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield about 45 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon peppermint extract, optional

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract if using, and beat until just combined. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead several times with your hands to bring the dough together. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to chill slightly, about 10 minutes (or refrigerate half the dough and freeze the other half for later use).
  • Generously dust a work surface with flour. Place one half of the dough on top and dust with more flour. Roll out into a round slightly less than 1/4-inch thick and about 14 inches in diameter, adding a little more flour as necessary to prevent sticking. If the dough cracks, press it back together with your fingers and smooth with the rolling pin. Use a 2 1/2- to 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Transfer the cookies one of the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cookie. Gather the scraps and refrigerate. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
  • Bake, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until slightly puffed and a shade darker on the underside, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (the cookies will crisp as they cool).
  • Gather all of the dough scraps together and roll out in the same manner. Cut out cookies and bake. Discard any remaining scraps.

CHOCOLATE MINT SANDWICH COOKIES



Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (about 20)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch kosher salt
A few drops green food coloring
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well in between each addition. Add the yolk and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the speed to low. Stir together the flour and cocoa powder in a small bowl, then add it to the dough in two batches, mixing well in between each.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a piece of plastic wrap (the dough will feel a bit wet but will come together once chilled). Form the dough into a disc and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Place some cocoa powder in a small bowl. Scoop a 2-tablespoon piece of dough and roll into a ball. Dip the bottom of a flat-bottomed jar or glass in the cocoa powder and press the cookie out into a flat 3-inch disc. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough. Bake the cookies until set and just starting to turn darker brown on the bottom, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the buttercream: Melt the butter with the mint in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the butter, gently mashing the mint, until the butter starts to take on the flavor of the mint, about 15 minutes. Strain the butter into a small bowl and immediately place it in the fridge to solidify, about 30 minutes.
  • Scrape the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium-high speed until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the confectioners' sugar in batches. Beat in the heavy cream, salt and food coloring. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Build the cookies: Pipe buttercream on the bottoms of 9 cookies to cover in an even layer. Top each with another cookie, then chill until the buttercream is hardened, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, line a plate with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil together in a small saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Working with one cookie at a time, gently place in the chocolate and spoon more chocolate over the top until completely coated. Use a slotted spatula or spoon to remove the cookie from the chocolate and place on the lined plate. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until the chocolate is hardened, about 10 minutes.

3/4 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares, melted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 -2 drop green food coloring
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon shortening

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
  • Beat in chocolate and mint extract; gradually add flour.
  • Stir in chocolate chips. Dough will be soft.
  • Drop by Tbsp 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Cool 4 minutes before moving to racks to cool completely.
  • Combine icing ingredients and spread over cooled cookies; let set.
  • In a microwave, melt drizzle ingredients, stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • For a fun variation, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or mint extract to the dough.
