  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour

  1. Mix together on medium speed the butter and the sugar. Add the vanilla, peppermint extract and egg. Mix together thoroughly.
  2. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter mixture. Mix together until it all comes together.
  3. Divide the dough in 2 equal pieces. Have ready 2 pieces of waxed paper, Roll the dough into logs. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2 hours.
  4. Slice the cookie dough into 1/4 inch slices. Place cookies on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Remove from pans to a wire rack to cool.
  5. Melt chocolate in microwave for about 1 minutes. Stir at 30 seconds to go. Check every 10 seconds after that to see if it is melted. My microwave did it in a minute. Your microwave might be done sooner or later depending on the power of your microwave.
