Description

A homemade version of the classic! Perfect for a holiday cookie spread.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • _____
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • ¼ cups Shortening
  • ¼ cups Butter, Softened
  • 2 cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • 2 drops Red Food Coloring
  • _____
  • FOR THE COATING:
  • ¼ cups Butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375F.

To make the cookies, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and beat well.

Mix together the dry ingredients thoroughly (getting rid of all big lumps of cocoa powder). Add dry ingredients to butter and sugar mixture and beat until just smooth.

Roll dough into a large ball and set to chill in the fridge for half an hour.

After the dough has chilled, scoop out very small balls of dough (about a teaspoon’s worth) and flatten gently on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes and then let cool completely on baking sheet. The cookies will harden as they cool.

To make the filling, beat together the shortening and butter. Add the confectioner’s sugar, extracts and food coloring and continue to beat for about six more minutes until light. Scoop filling into a plastic bag or pastry bag (with a very small tip) and pipe a small amount between cookies. Sandwich cookies together.

Make the chocolate covering by melting together the butter and chocolate over very, very low heat. Drop the sandwiched cookies into chocolate and use a spoon to coat thoroughly. Gently pick cookies out of chocolate and freeze on wax paper for half an hour until chocolate is set.
