CHOCOLATE MINT TRUFFLE COOKIES



Chocolate Mint Truffle Cookies image

These cookies are our very favorite Christmas cookies. My husband has been making these with our kids since the oldest was just 1 1/2 years. They are amazing - chocolaty, fudgy and moist. A true winning combination. The dough needs to be refrigerated for 2 hours which is not included in the prep time. Cookies can be frozen for about a month and will last in airtight container for about a week (although we never actually have been able to test this time because the cookes are gone in no time).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Make sure the chocolate and butter are completely melted before adding them to the other ingredients. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft. This will give you a chewy cookie with a gooey center.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them in powdered sugar. This will help to prevent the sugar from melting.

Conclusion:

These chocolate mint truffle cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with everyone who tries them. The combination of chocolate and mint is classic and delicious, and the truffle filling adds a touch of luxury. Whether you are baking them for a party or just for a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
