I made these for one of the cookie exchanges I was in this year. Very easy, yummy and pretty! Prep time includes chill time. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes) |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon peppermint extract |
6 drops red food coloring |
4 1/2 teaspoons chocolate syrup |
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 1/2 teaspoons shortening |
Directions:
1. Line a 9x5x3 inches loaf pan with waxed paper; set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
3. Divide dough into thirds. Add peppermint extract and red food coloring to one portion and mix well; spread evenly into prepared pan.
4. Spread one plain layer evenly over first layer.
5. To last portion add chocolate syrup; spread over second layer.
6. Cover with foil; chill for 4 hours or overnight.
7. Unwrap loaf and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each portion widthwise into 1/4 in slices.
8. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
9. Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
10. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until blended and smooth.
11. Dip one end of each cookie into chocolate. Place on wire racks until set.
