Ingredients
Cocoa Cookies:
3 T. butter, melted
1 egg white
1/4 C brown sugar
Pinch of Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 C cocoa powder
1/2 C flour
¼ tsp. peppermint extract
Peppermint Buttercream Filling:
2 c. powdered sugar
4 T. melted butter
¼ tsp. peppermint extract
1/2 tsp. heavy whipping cream
Preparation
For the cookies: Combine all ingredients together. Add flour slowly and mix, until dough is roll-able and not sticky. Once well mixed, roll thin, very thin. Cut out your shapes (I did hearts for V-day!) Bake at 325 degrees for 4-7 minutes, or until cookies have firmed and browned slightly around edges. Remove from oven and cool.
For the buttercream filling: Mix together all ingredients until it becomes thick and easy to roll with a rolling pin. Roll until about 1/4″ thick. Cut into desired shape. Place atop cooled cookies. Melt Chocolate CANDIQUIK according to the package directions. Dip cookies into melted CANDIQUIK with a fork, spoon chocolate over the cookie until fully covered. Set to dry on a piece of wax or parchment paper. Makes about 10 (large) cookies.
