That thin little square going around the table after the holiday dinner. I&#8217;ve always been a huge chocolate fan, and chocolate with mint even more. So on the day I spent baking batch after batch of cookies for the site, I thought: why not make a cookie with cr\u00e8me de menthe right in the dough?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s kind of a grown-up cookie. But it&#8217;s absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf43 <strong>Real cr\u00e8me de menthe and hand-chopped Lindt mint chocolate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most chocolate mint cookie recipes lean on peppermint extract or mint candies. This one puts a tablespoon of clear cr\u00e8me de menthe into the dough with the egg and vanilla, so the mint is baked into every bite. Then comes Lindt mint chocolate, one of my favourite chocolates, roughly chopped with a knife. Some of it melts into the dough, the rest goes on top and bakes into glossy puddles. Clear cr\u00e8me de menthe, not green. The green stuff makes a pretty sad-looking cookie.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf6a <strong>Crisp edges, soft centres, made for the holiday cookie tray<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The dough takes fifteen minutes and they bake in about ten. Pull them while the centres still look underdone. They firm up on the hot sheet into soft, chewy middles with crisp edges. I put them on the Christmas cookie tray, pack them in a tin as a gift, or set a plate next to the coffee when friends drop by. Want some to give away? Double the batch. Trust me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf81 After Eights at Christmas, in cookie form These chocolate mint cookies really take me back to After Eights at Christmas.
