Mint-chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Mint-chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies

From DetroitTokyo 13 years ago

A delicious little festive morsel. The cookie is crisp, buttery and not too sweet which complements the chocolate and candy perfectly.

Beat butter, sugars, and extract until fluffy - at least 10 minutes. Combine flour and salt and slowly incorporate into butter mixture. Form dough into a ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough into a log and gently slice into 1/2 inch pieces. Place on lined baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Transfer to cooling rack, reserving parchment lined sheets.
Once cookies are fully cooled, place half of chocolate chips in a small microwave safe glass bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until creamy and smooth, mixing well after each interval. Stir in half of mint extract and dip half of each cookie in chocolate. Transfer back to lined sheet and sprinkle with candy pieces. Continue with half of cookies. Repeat process until all are dipped and sprinkled with candy. Place sheets in fridge for about 30 minutes until chocolate is set. Store cookies in an airtight container.

I made these for the kids and they loved them! The only problem I had was with the chocolate seizing after adding the peppermint extract. I tried again with the same results. After researching why, I read that the alcohol in the extract can bind with the sugars in the chocolate and seize it. I used semi-sweet chips, so that's probably why I had problems. Milk chocolate chips have more cocoa butter and milk ingredients in them so the extract should bind with that instead. Next time if I use semi-sweet chips I'll try adding some butter to the chocolate or use a peppermint oil instead.
