Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, (divided)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
  • 1 tbsp. shortening
  • 10 -12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, (I use mini)

Instruction

  • Beat 2 1/4 cups confectioners sugar with corn syrup, peppermint extract, shortening, and a pinch of salt using a stand mixer (with paddle attachment) at medium speed until just combined. Knead on a work surface dusted with remaining 1/4 cup confectioners sugar until smooth.
  • Roll mixture out between sheets of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
  • Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Remove top sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Replace top sheet, then flip round over and repeat sprinkling on other side.
  • Cut out as many rounds as possible with cutter, transferring to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, gather scraps, reroll, and freeze, then cut out more rounds, freezing them.
