Ingredients
Cookies
- ¾ Cup MagicalButter
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg (Room Temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 1 ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¾ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
Topping
- 10 ounces Milk Chocolate Melting wafers
- ½ teaspoon Magical Coconut Oil
- ⅛ teaspoon Peppermint Extract
Directions
Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the Magical Butter on high for 1 minute, until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and beat on medium speed until light colored and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint on high speed, taking breaks to scrape down the sides until completely combined.
- In a medium bowl whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until free of clumps. Add into a large mixing bowl and mix on medium high speed until dough comes together.
- Dough will be slightly sticky, scrape it out of the bowl onto a clean countertop or parchment paper. Divide dough into two balls. Roll each ball of dough out until about ¼ inch thick. Wrap in plastic and allow to chill for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Once the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 350° F. Cut out your cookies using a circular cookie cutter.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 (2 inch cookies) or 12-15 minutes (3 inch cookies) until the edges of your cookie have set.
- Let your cookies cool completely on your baking sheet to allow the middle of the cookies to finish baking on the pan.
- Once cool it's time to dip.
Chocolate Coating
- Using a large glass bowl in the microwave, double boiler, or a chocolate melter, melt down your chocolate.
- Once the chocolate has been melted down and has a uniform consistency add the Magical Coconut Oil and mix thoroughly.
- Add your peppermint extract and mix well.
- Using a fork, dip your cookies into the chocolate, allow the excess chocolate to drip off the fork and set onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once you're done dipping the cookies transfer to the fridge to allow the chocolate to set.
- Cover and store cookies at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
