Minty Chocolate Wafers: Better Than Box!
Chocolate wafers: craft these irresistible minty treats at home. This copycat recipe delivers crisp, chocolate-dipped goodness with a refreshing hint of peppermint.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour, (plus 2 tablespoons)
- ¼ cup (29.5 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57g) unsalted butter, (softened)
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ large egg
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 16 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the egg and ½ teaspoon peppermint extract to the creamed mixture and beat until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated and a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface and cut into desired wafer shapes.
- Bake the wafers at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the canola oil and remaining ½ teaspoon peppermint extract. Dip the cooled wafers into the chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
