Yield Makes about 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
12 ounces finely chopped semisweet couverture chocolate, such as Valrhona or Callebaut

Steps:

  • Cookies:Line two baking sheets with parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well incorporated, scraping down sides as necessary. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and mix until just combined; do not overmix. Transfer dough to a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a disk, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Filling:In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, butter, and peppermint until well incorporated. Transfer filling to a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a disk, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch oval cookie cutter, cut out ovals and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until dry, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Roll out filling between two sheets of parchment to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Using the same cutter, cut out ovals and sandwich between two cookies.
  • Chocolate Coating:Place 8 ounces chocolate in a metal (or other heatproof) bowl. Set bowl of chocolate over a saucepan containing 2 inches of water (don't let bottom touch the water). Heat over medium and bring to just below a simmer. Let melt, stirring gently until chocolate registers 115 degrees on thermometer. Remove bowl; add remaining 4 ounces chocolate to bowl, stirring constantly until chocolate registers 85 degrees. Return bowl to saucepan off the heat and stir constantly until chocolate registers 89 degrees. Use immediately, stirring frequently while using to maintain temper and prevent streaking once chocolate hardens. If tempered chocolate thickens too much during use, place over simmering water again, stirring, 2 to 3 seconds.
  • Working with one at a time, place each sandwich in tempered chocolate and turn to coat completely. Transfer to a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet. Working quickly with the back of the tines of a fork, gently tap top of each sandwich to create a design, then slide to another location on parchment to prevent a border from forming. Let stand until set, at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything important.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint leaves will give your Minty-Wiches the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly brown around the edges and still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.

Conclusion:

Minty-Wiches are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of filling options to choose from, you can create a Minty-Wich that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Minty-Wiches a try!
