Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter or margarine until creamy. Add the sugar, and beat until mixed well. Beat in egg and mint extract.
- Sift flour, cocoa, and salt together into a small bowl. Add flour mixture by halves into creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface roll dough into two 1 1/2 inch diameter cylinders. Wrap each cylinder in waxed paper, and refrigerate 5 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thirty minutes prior to baking, place both cylinders in freezer.
- Remove one cylinder at a time, and slice 1/4 inch thick pieces with very sharp knife. Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine and the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle over warm cookies. Place on wire racks, and let cool and harden completely.

Steps:
- In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract on high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the baking powder and salt until combined. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each portion out onto a piece of parchment to about 1/4″ thickness. Stack the pieces (with parchment paper between) onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling is mandatory. If chilling for more than a couple hours, cover the top dough piece with a single piece of parchment paper. You can chill up to 2 days.
- Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Remove one of the dough pieces from the refrigerator and using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut in circles. Transfer the cut cookie dough to the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until all is used.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges appear set. The cookies will seem very soft in the centers. Make sure you rotate the baking sheet halfway through bake time. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dipping in chocolate.
- Melt the chopped chocolate and oil together in a double boiler or (carefully!) use the microwave. For the microwave, place the chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 15 second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Once melted, stir in the peppermint extract. Dip each cooled cookie completely into the chocolate and use a fork to lift out. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place cookie onto a parchment or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator to help the chocolate set. Once set, enjoy!
- Cover and store leftover cookies at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The cookies taste delicious cold. I love eaten straight from the freezer!

Steps:
- Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract if using, and beat until just combined. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead several times with your hands to bring the dough together. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to chill slightly, about 10 minutes (or refrigerate half the dough and freeze the other half for later use).
- Generously dust a work surface with flour. Place one half of the dough on top and dust with more flour. Roll out into a round slightly less than 1/4-inch thick and about 14 inches in diameter, adding a little more flour as necessary to prevent sticking. If the dough cracks, press it back together with your fingers and smooth with the rolling pin. Use a 2 1/2- to 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Transfer the cookies one of the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cookie. Gather the scraps and refrigerate. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
- Bake, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until slightly puffed and a shade darker on the underside, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (the cookies will crisp as they cool).
- Gather all of the dough scraps together and roll out in the same manner. Cut out cookies and bake. Discard any remaining scraps.

Steps:
- Cookies:Line two baking sheets with parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well incorporated, scraping down sides as necessary. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and mix until just combined; do not overmix. Transfer dough to a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a disk, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Filling:In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, butter, and peppermint until well incorporated. Transfer filling to a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a disk, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch oval cookie cutter, cut out ovals and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until dry, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Roll out filling between two sheets of parchment to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Using the same cutter, cut out ovals and sandwich between two cookies.
- Chocolate Coating:Place 8 ounces chocolate in a metal (or other heatproof) bowl. Set bowl of chocolate over a saucepan containing 2 inches of water (don't let bottom touch the water). Heat over medium and bring to just below a simmer. Let melt, stirring gently until chocolate registers 115 degrees on thermometer. Remove bowl; add remaining 4 ounces chocolate to bowl, stirring constantly until chocolate registers 85 degrees. Return bowl to saucepan off the heat and stir constantly until chocolate registers 89 degrees. Use immediately, stirring frequently while using to maintain temper and prevent streaking once chocolate hardens. If tempered chocolate thickens too much during use, place over simmering water again, stirring, 2 to 3 seconds.
- Working with one at a time, place each sandwich in tempered chocolate and turn to coat completely. Transfer to a fresh parchment-lined baking sheet. Working quickly with the back of the tines of a fork, gently tap top of each sandwich to create a design, then slide to another location on parchment to prevent a border from forming. Let stand until set, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pan, leave to cool for a few minutes, then pour into a large bowl. Whisk in both sugars and the egg until combined.
- Use a wooden spoon to mix in the flour and baking powder until the mixture comes together into a dough. Beat in the peppermint extract, then fold in the chocolate chips. Wrap well and chill for 1 hr.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Divide the cookie dough into 16 pieces (about 45g each), and roll each piece into a ball using your hands. Arrange the dough balls on two baking trays lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart, and press them down slightly. Bake for 10 mins, then remove the trays from the oven and tap sharply on a work surface to flatten the cookies. Return to the oven and repeat this after 2 mins, then again after another 2 mins (they should bake for 14 mins in total). Leave to cool completely on the trays.
- Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in 15-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each burst. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, place on the lined tray and sprinkle with candy cane pieces. Transfer the tray to the fridge and chill for 30 mins to set.
