Ingredients

  • ½ cup cup Butter
  • ½ cup Light brown water
  • ⅓ cup Caster sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp. Peppermint extract
  • 1 ¾ cup All-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp. Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. Baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 12 Eight After cookies

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter until light creamy and pale in color.
    You can use an electric mixer. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes for the best results.
  • Add the egg and keep mixing at high speed until fully incorporated, add the peppermint extract and mix well.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, leavening agent, and salt to form a uniform color.
  • Sift the flour mixture into the bowl containing wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula then use your hands to make a soft dough.
  • Place the formed dough into a greased bowl and cover with a plastic wrap. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • On a clean floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle of ½ inch thickness.
    Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the circle. Use a 3inch cookie cutter so they can have enough space to fit an After Eight Chocolate. Preheat the oven to 150C.
  • Carefully place an After Eight Chocolate in the middle of each cutout cookie. Wrap it with the cookie dough, covering the After Eight Chocolate.
  • Arrange the Cookies on a baking sheet lined up with baking paper, and leave 2 inches apart, that's to allow spreading of the cookies as they bake.
  • Bake them for 12 to 15 minutes in the middle rack position in the oven. Once ready, let them cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them onto a cooling rack.
  • Place an After Eight chocolate on top of each baked cookie. Enjoy the cookies while warm with a cold glass of milk or for dessert after dinner.
