Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, white rice flour, and cocoa powder. Mix these dry ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not over mix. The dough should be firm enough to handle.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are slightly cracked on top. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the chocolate coating. In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate and cream over a double boiler.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, dip each cookie into the melted chocolate mixture to coat. Place the coated cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the cookies sit at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
Your chocolate mint cookies are now ready to be served. Enjoy them with a cold glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa!
Tips:
- Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier blending with the sugar and other ingredients.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- For a more intense mint flavor, you can add a few drops of mint extract to the dough.
- Use high-quality dark and milk chocolate for the best taste and texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to ensure they set properly.
- If desired, you can drizzle some melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for an extra touch of decadence.
Bite into these Chocolate Mint Cookies and savor the perfect blend of creamy chocolate and invigorating mint. Easy to prepare and irresistibly delicious, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
