Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams packed light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 45 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and peppermint extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon, drop teaspoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each dough ball gently with the back of a spoon or your palm to form a disc shape.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets.
Step 9
While the cookies cool, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth.
Step 10
Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the cookies back on the parchment-lined baking sheets.
Step 11
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Step 12
Store the Chocolate Mint Wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
