Peppermint Patties

By SewingDragonfly

Ingredients

• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 3 tablespoons corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint oil
• 8 ounces dark chocolate
• extra sugar for dusting

Preparation

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine liquid ingredients and slowly sift in sugar, stirring to incorporate.
Remove sugar dough from the bowl and knead on a work surface dusted with sugar.
Once a smooth and uniform ball has formed, roll dough 1/4-inch tick. Dust work surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking.
Dip a round cutter of your choice into sugar and cut rounds out of dough. Any shape cutter can be used. Place cutouts onto baking sheet.
Leave cutouts uncovered in a cool area for 2 to 5 hours, until the surface has crusted.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
Place cutout onto a fork and dip into chocolate, let excess drip off, then place onto parchment lined baking sheet.
