Cookies
|
Step 1
|
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. |
Step 2
|
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the remainder of the ingredients for the cookies until a nice dough forms. Knead with your hands. If too dry add a dab of milk until it comes together. |
Step 3
|
Roll out on plastic sheet dusted with cocoa (flour will be white, cookies are brown--use cocoa) to about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut into 2" circles with biscuit cutter. |
Step 4
|
Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to fully cool on baking sheet. |
Chocolate Coating

Step 5
|
Melt chips and shortening in microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add mint extract and mix well. Dip each cookie carefully until coated. Allow to set on waxed paper and freeze for 10 minutes. Makes about 30 cookies. |
