How To Make chocolate mint sandwich cookies

  • 1
    In a large bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, expresso powder and salt; set aside. In a very large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs until combined. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour mixture. Divide dough in half, if neccessary, cover and chill for 1-2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 350df . On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough at a time until 1/4 " thick. Using a 2 1/2 " round cookie cutter, cut out dough. Place 1" apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm. (Don't cook to long as they will get to hard)
  • 3
    Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Fill cookies with Peppermint Cream Filling. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Makes about 24 sandwich cookies.
