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

    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.
