    Ingredients
      

    • 1 tablespoon vinegar
    • ¼ cup milk
    • 1 ½ cups sugar
    • ½ cup shortening I used butter
    • 1 egg
    • ¼ to ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
    • 2 cups sifted flour
    • ½ cup powdered cocoa
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Instructions
     

    • Add vinegar to milk, set aside
    • Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar
    • Add egg, extract, and soured milk to mixture and combine
    • Sift together flour, cocoa, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture, blend until well combined
    • Shape dough into roll, about 2 inch in diameter,
    • Wrap dough in waxed paper, freeze for up to 3 weeks or chill for 4-6 hours
    • Slice dough into thin cookies and place on ungreased cookie sheet
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes

    Notes

    The cookie flavor was superb but a bit too thick for a wafer type cookie. Slice dough less than ¼ inch thick, and slightly flatten with a rolling pin. I used butter which made the dough too wet, I had to add about 2 tablespoons flour; it's best to use shortening
    Adapted from Better Homes and Gardens Cocoa-Mint Wafers

      Chocolate and mint are such a holiday classic, and these look great. I just love the idea of having cookie dough in the freezer ready to bake, and I've had to make extra rom for all the great recipes this month.
