Don’t get me wrong– I’m not hating on them. They’re outrageously good. (Like these, at Creative Live) But I really wanted to make the recipes for this series a little different– stuff you, hopefully, haven’t seen too often (or at all) before. I literally used the recipe for home made thin mint cookies (plus a little cream cheese) to make the filling and dipped it in chocolate. Voila! Hope you like 🙂 Thin Mint Cookie Dough Truffles Modified from Baking Bites 6018757 Ingredients: 1 1/8 c. AP flour 7 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder pinch of salt 1/2 c. Sugar 1/4 c. Butter 2 oz. cream cheese splash of Vanilla 1 tsp. Peppermint extract* 3-5 Tbsp. Milk (more if necessary) At least 8 oz. melted dipping chocolate (the darker the better) Instructions: Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, mix all ingredients together except for the milk. Add the milk 1 tbsp at a time, until dough is a manageable consistency for scooping and rolling. Scoop out 1 tsp at a time of the dough, roll into balls. Place in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, until firm. Dip in melted dipping chocolate, let harden on wax paper. * I started with 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract since I was halving the original recipe which only calls for about 1/2 tsp– and I could barely taste the peppermint! But since peppermint is such a strong flavor and easy to over-do, I’d suggest only adding about 1/4 tsp at a time, until you get it just right for you.
