Assalamu Alaikum!
Today we wanted to share this recipe that we have only recently come up with. It was our mother's idea to add peppermint extract to the cookies and they turned out delicious, masha'Allah! We hope you give it a try, insha'Allah, and let us know what you think.
Ingredients:-
125g softened butter
150g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
150g plain flour
35g cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
50g cooking chocolate
For most recipes we use a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon, but for this one we used our patisserie.
In it we beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Then we added the beaten egg and the peppermint extract and mixed until smooth. Next we sifted in the flour, cocoa and soda and beat until well mixed.
Finally, we stirred in some chocolate pieces.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, 350 degrees Fahrenheit, Gas Mark 4. Line two large baking trays with baking sheets.
Roll out 25-30 even-sized balls and place them a couple of inches apart. You can flatten them slightly with your fingertips.
Then we baked them on a medium shelf for 10-12 minutes.
Wait five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
We hope you liked this post and we will see you next Friday, insha'Allah.
Love and Wassalam,
Assalaamu alaikum. Um.. can this be done by hand? (cause we don't have a stand mixer lol plus if I want to make it in the early morning, everyone will wake up)
ReplyDeleteWa Alaikum Assalam.
ReplyDeleteYes, it can be made without a mixer. You'll just have to cream the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon. We used the patisserie because we were busy and in a hurry!
Oh, and another thing. You can use vanilla extract instead if you don't have peppermint extract. Hope you like the recipe!
