Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp mint extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup mint-flavor semisweet chocolate pieces, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/3 cup white baking chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- Green food coloring (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, vanilla, and mint extract until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
2. Divide dough in half. In a medium mixing bowl, stir or knead melted mint chocolate pieces into one portion of the dough. Divide mint dough into thirds, set aside. In a second bowl, stir or knead melted white chocolate into the remaining portion of dough. If desired, tint white chocolate dough using green food coloring. Divide dough in half.
3.Line an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Press one-third of the mint dough evenly into pan. Press half of white chocolate dough evenly on top of mint layer. Repeat the layers, finishing with mint dough on top. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove dough from pan, remove and discard plastic wrap. Place on cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut dough crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise. Place slices 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 8 minutes or until edges are set. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes 64 slices.
