Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield about 25 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
20 soft peppermint puffs, crushed (about 3/4 cup crushed)
15 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, crushed (about 1 cup crushed)
1/3 cup red mini candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M's Minis

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla, peppermint extract and eggs, then continue to beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Fold in the peppermint puffs, cookie crumbs and candy-coated chocolates until evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
  • Divide the dough into 3-tablespoon portions and roll into uniform balls (there should be about 25 dough balls). Transfer to a large plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled through, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
  • Arrange the chilled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each ball. Bake one sheet at a time on the center rack until the cookies have puffed, the centers are just set and the edges have just turned golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM CAKE

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Categories     dessert

Time 19h30m

Yield 1 (9-inch) ice cream cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 2/3 cups semisweet chocolate
2 (9-ounce) packages chocolate wafer cookies (about 80 cookies)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate
8 cups vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed red and white striped hard peppermint candies (about 10 ounces)
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Candy Brittle, recipe follows
2 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
2 cups assorted candies (hot cinnamon candies, after dinner mints, candy cane pieces, sliced spice drops)

Steps:

  • For the crust: In a small heavy bottom saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate. Remove from the heat. Finely crush the chocolate wafers in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, or use a food processor. In a large bowl, combine the wafer crumbs with the melted chocolate and blend until the crumbs are moistened. Reserve 1 1/4 cups crumb mixture in a small bowl. Press the remaining crumb mixture onto the sides and bottom of a 9-inch diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch high sides. Freeze for 1 hour. For the glaze: In a large heavy bottom saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil. Remove from heat, add the chocolate, and whisk until it is melted and smooth. Let stand until cool but still pourable, about 1 hour. For the filling: In a large bowl, working quickly, mix the ice cream, crushed candies, and extract until blended. Spoon half of the ice cream into the crust, spreading it evenly. Put the remaining ice cream mixture in the bowl in the freezer. Sprinkle the reserved 1 1/4 cup cookie crumb mixture over the ice cream in the springform pan, press the crumbs down gently. Pour 1 1/4 cup of the chocolate glaze over the ice cream in the springform pan. Freeze for 1 hour. Top with the remaining ice cream, and spread evenly. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Stir the remaining glaze over low heat, just enough so that it is pourable but not warm. Pour the glaze over the ice cream, and spread evenly. Freeze overnight. Run a sharp warm knife between the pan sides and the crust to loosen the cake. Release the pan sides and transfer the cake to a platter. Garnish the cake with Candy Brittle.;
  • In a heavy bottom small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the sugar, water, and corn syrup until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Place a 24-inch long sheet of foil on your work surface. Be extremely careful, the syrup is extremely hot. Pour the boiling syrup in wide zigzag lines across the foil. Working quickly and using an oiled offset metal spatula, spread the syrup evenly onto the foil, leaving a 1-inch border. Immediately sprinkle with all the candies, pressing the larger pieces into the syrup to make sure they stick. Be careful not to touch the syrup. Cool completely. Break off irregular pieces of the brittle and peel off the foil as you go. Press the brittle upright, candy side out, onto the top and sides of cake and freeze.;
