CRISPY CHOCOLATE-MINT COOKIES



Crispy Chocolate-Mint Cookies image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield about 45 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon peppermint extract, optional

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract if using, and beat until just combined. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead several times with your hands to bring the dough together. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to chill slightly, about 10 minutes (or refrigerate half the dough and freeze the other half for later use).
  • Generously dust a work surface with flour. Place one half of the dough on top and dust with more flour. Roll out into a round slightly less than 1/4-inch thick and about 14 inches in diameter, adding a little more flour as necessary to prevent sticking. If the dough cracks, press it back together with your fingers and smooth with the rolling pin. Use a 2 1/2- to 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Transfer the cookies one of the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cookie. Gather the scraps and refrigerate. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
  • Bake, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until slightly puffed and a shade darker on the underside, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (the cookies will crisp as they cool).
  • Gather all of the dough scraps together and roll out in the same manner. Cut out cookies and bake. Discard any remaining scraps.

CHOCOLATE MINT SANDWICH COOKIES



Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (about 20)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch kosher salt
A few drops green food coloring
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well in between each addition. Add the yolk and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the speed to low. Stir together the flour and cocoa powder in a small bowl, then add it to the dough in two batches, mixing well in between each.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a piece of plastic wrap (the dough will feel a bit wet but will come together once chilled). Form the dough into a disc and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Place some cocoa powder in a small bowl. Scoop a 2-tablespoon piece of dough and roll into a ball. Dip the bottom of a flat-bottomed jar or glass in the cocoa powder and press the cookie out into a flat 3-inch disc. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough. Bake the cookies until set and just starting to turn darker brown on the bottom, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the buttercream: Melt the butter with the mint in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the butter, gently mashing the mint, until the butter starts to take on the flavor of the mint, about 15 minutes. Strain the butter into a small bowl and immediately place it in the fridge to solidify, about 30 minutes.
  • Scrape the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium-high speed until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the confectioners' sugar in batches. Beat in the heavy cream, salt and food coloring. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Build the cookies: Pipe buttercream on the bottoms of 9 cookies to cover in an even layer. Top each with another cookie, then chill until the buttercream is hardened, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, line a plate with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil together in a small saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Working with one cookie at a time, gently place in the chocolate and spoon more chocolate over the top until completely coated. Use a slotted spatula or spoon to remove the cookie from the chocolate and place on the lined plate. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until the chocolate is hardened, about 10 minutes.

ANDES MINT CHIP SOFT FUDGY CHOCOLATE COOKIES



ANDES MINT CHIP SOFT FUDGY CHOCOLATE COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Christmas

Yield 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 packet instant chocolate pudding mix, about 3.7 to 3.9 ounces (not sugar-free and not 'cook & serve')
1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso granules (optional, but recommended; brings out the chocolate flavor and does not make cookies taste like coffee)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
one 10-ounce bag Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips (try Walmart, Target, Amazon, regular grocery stores; mint baking chips may be substituted)
2.5 to 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (I used Trader Joe's 72% Pound Plus Bar)

Steps:

  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the pudding mix, cocoa, espresso granules, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, baking soda, optional salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the Andes chips, chopped chocolate, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 14 equal-sized mounds of dough. Roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked and glossy in the center. Don't overbake which is easy to do with dark cookies. Cookies firm up as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack. Cookies are best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set.
