CHOCOLATE MINT WAFERS

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Christmas

Yield 44

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
Sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; mix just until combined. Form balls of dough (each equal to 1 teaspoon), and place on two baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Dip the bottom of a glass in water, and flatten balls into 1 1/2-inch rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). Bake until slightly firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Immediately transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Make chocolate coating: Place chocolate, peppermint extract, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove from heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Set each cookie across the tines of a fork, dunk in chocolate, then tap underside of fork on side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet, and decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Refrigerate until chocolate has hardened, about 30 minutes, and keep chilled until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: This will help the wafers to hold their shape better when baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the wafers: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Bake the wafers until they are just golden brown: Overbaking will make them dry and brittle.
  • Let the wafers cool completely before storing them: This will help them to crisp up.
  • Store the wafers in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Mint chocolate wafers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their minty chocolate flavor and crispy texture, these wafers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these mint chocolate wafers a try!
