Chocolate Mint Marvels

My new cookie for 2019 is my own creation - something I'm calling Chocolate Mint Marvels (sort of likeThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel but different). Basically York Peppermint Patties enveloped in dark chocolate wafers.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 1/4 cup

sugar

1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
~10-12  small York Peppermint Patties

Instructions

  • Whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce mixer to low and add flour mixture until just combined. 
  • Shape dough into disc or ball and chill dough for 15-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pinch off 1-inch diameter balls. Cut peppermint patties into quarters. Flatten balls into discs. place 1/4 of peppermint patty between two discs and seal the edges. 
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 8-12 minutes. cool on racks.
