Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, (softened)
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped semi sweet baking chocolate
  • green food colouring

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and the confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the peppermint extract and green food colouring. (If using liquid food colouring, about 3 drops will do. If using gel food colouring, just a dab on a toothpick will do.)
  • Sift together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Add to the mixing bowl and beat into the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Stir in the chocolate.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
