Chocolate Peppermint Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 50 gm icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 50 gm unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoon water

Recipe :

• Step 1 Preheat the oven and mix the dry ingredients

  To prepare this amazing snack recipe, preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius. Then, take a mixing bowl and sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa powder and salt. Keep it aside.

• Step 2 Combine the wet ingredients to prepare a creamy mixture

  Next, take another bowl and add unsalted butter in it along with icing and brown sugar. Using an electric beater, beat them well until soft peaks form and the mixture is creamy and fluffy.

• Step 3 Mix both types of ingredients together to knead a soft cookie dough

  Now, crack open the egg in it and beat well once again until the mixture is smooth. Then, add vanilla extract in the mixture and whisk once again. Finally, fold the flour mixture in this bowl by mixing a little at a time. You can use a spatula or even the whisker to fold the flour. Once done, gently add in chocolate chips and mix well.

• Step 4 Divide the cookie dough on baking sheet & bake for 5-10 minutes

  Next, place a cookie sheet that has not been greased in a large tray and drop a big spoon of the prepared dough about 2-inches apart. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies until cracks appear on top for about 5-10 minutes. Once done, take out the tray and let the cookies cool completely.

• Step 5 Prepare the glaze

  Finally, prepare the glaze for cookies. Take a small bowl and add water, icing sugar and peppermint extract in it. Mix all the ingredients well and transfer this mixture to a medium resealable plastic bag and cut one of its corners. You can decorate the cookie as you like and once done, let the cookies stand until set for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips :

• You can also pour the glaze over the cookies.

• The glaze would set perfectly over the cookies if you let them rest in the refrigerator for a while.

• Do not decorate the cookies with the glaze until they have completely cooled.
