PEPPERMINT-FUDGE COOKIE STICKS



Peppermint-Fudge Cookie Sticks image

Try a new twist on a peppermint stick this Christmas! Fudgy chocolate cookie "sticks" get dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies for a treat that'll really stand out on your cookie tray-but doesn't actually require much hands-on time. Unlike cutouts or drop cookies, these easy cookies are cut from a slab of dough and cut into sticks after baking. This quick process leaves you with more time for decorating, which is a fun way to involve little bakers who will love dipping, sprinkling or even just licking bowls!

HOMEMADE PEPPERMINT FUDGE STICKS



Homemade Peppermint Fudge Sticks image

Provided by Angela @ Mommy Moment

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut butter (or honey if you want a sweet fudge)
1/2 cup coconut (unsweetened)
2 Tbsp cocao or cocoa
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
2 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)
parchment or wax paper
cute mug

Steps:

  • Line a small 8x8 pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Slowly melt the coconut oil and coconut butter. Once melted, mix in the cocoa till well blended. Add in the maple syrup, peppermint oil and coconut and again stir together till thoroughly mixed. Pour the mixture into the pan, on top of the wax/parchment paper. Put in fridge for at least 1 hour. You can leave it in the fridge overnight if you like. Take the parchment/wax paper out and cut into squares or bars. (I like to use one of those metal flour scrapers to cut the bars as I find the the bars do not break apart like they do if I cut with a knife). Put some parchment or wax paper into a mug, add in the bars, and you have a beautiful gift. It is best to keep in the fridge till eating. It is fine for a few hours at room temperature, it will just be softer.

Here are some tips and a conclusion for making the best peppermint fudge cookie sticks:

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before using them. This will help the dough come together more smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the fudge.
  • Use good quality chocolate chips for the fudge. This will make a big difference in the flavor.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Conclusion:

Peppermint fudge cookie sticks are the perfect holiday treat. They're easy to make, delicious, and festive. With a little planning, you can make these cookies ahead of time and freeze them for later.
