One of the requests for my blog was something with peppermint. Now, here left me with a pickle. I don't like peppermint. My husband doesn't like peppermint. My kids don't like peppermint. So, not to disappoint, one day I was looking in the spice department, I found banana extract! And root beer! And rum! And cherry! And raspberry! I remember seeing a peppermint pattie recipe. I'll make Raspberry Patties! I'm sure if you were to use peppermint for this recipe, the 1 tablespoon would be plenty. I, however thought using the raspberry extract, when I make this again, I'll double that.
"Peppermint" Patties
makes about 48 cookies
Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 T peppermint extract *
1 bag powdered sugar
24 oz chocolate chips
4 T butter
Directions
1. Combine the milk and extract
2. Add the powdered sugar 1 c at a time and beat
3. When there's about 2 c left, sprinkle a plate with powdered sugar and put the mixture on the surface to knead.
4. Knead and combine the rest of the sugar about a 1/2 c at a time until combined
5. Cut the dough with your cookie scoop, place on a cookie sheet
6. Let the cut patties dry for 2 hours on each side, I did this over night to get them really dry
7. Melt the chocolate and butter until smooth.
8. I added about 2 T of milk to the chocolate to thin it out slightly
8. Dip patties in the melted chocolate, shake off excess, and place on parchment paper to dry
9. Have extra chocolate? Freeze on another sheet of parchment paper, use to make hot cocoa!
