Foodie Friday : Chocolate mint cookies

Step into the Real Swanky kitchen this Foodie Friday for the super easy recipe of these chocolate mint cookies!

Yields approx. 2 dozen

Ingredients I

1/2 cup vegan butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Ingredients II

1 cup flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 tbsp almond milk

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 tsp peppermint extract

1/3 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350F.

In your mixer, cream together butter and powdered sugar for a few minutes, until fluffy.

Add in all of Ingredients II and continue to mix until a thick dough is sorted out.

Shape into a disc and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Dust some flour on your table.  Roll out to about 1/8" in thickness. I patted the dough down with my hands first, then finished rolling with a non stick rolling pin.

Use a little glass or biscuit cutter to get roughly 2 dozen cookies cut out. Bake for 10 minutes on the button, and place on a cooling rack when done. 

Top with ganache if you like. I've been a fan of VeganBaking's recipe for a minute.

Keep in the fridge or freezer in a zip bag or cookie tin 'til they're gone.
