So I have not tried this recepie yet, but I have tasted them. The recepie is from Urban Cookies in Phoenix....some friends of ours who have the cutest place across the street from Xavier HS. Anyhow, I just live for these cookies and dream about them. I asked for them for Christmas even. Just the other day I was thinking I should beg them to give me the recepie, but surely they wouldnt. To my surprise I went on AZ Central's website and they had local cookie recepies noted. Yippee!
I just hope mine turn out as lovely and delicious as theirs! Thanks for sharing Urban Cookies!
1 1/2 sticks butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint oil or extract
1 egg
2 egg whites
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
For coating: Granulated sugar and Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl with hand beater or a mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and peppermint extract on medium-high speed until everything is well-blended. Add egg and egg whites to bowl. Mix on medium speed until eggs are fully mixed into the sugar mixture.
Sift cocoa powder.
Warm milk in microwave for 30 seconds. Add cocoa powder to the bowl on low speed. Mix until fully incorporated. Stream the milk into the mixture on low speed. Stop and scrape the bowl.
Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl on low speed. Once incorporated, increase speed to medium for 30 seconds.
Refrigerate dough for 2 hours or until stiff. Using an ice-cream scoop, make evenly sized portions of dough, or roll dough into balls, about 3 ounces each, using hands. Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar until completely covered. Next, roll the dough ball in powdered sugar. Make sure it is completely coated with no brown showing. Place on cookie sheet with a non-stick surface or covered with parchment paper. Bake about 25 minutes, or until done. For crispier cookie, bake longer.
Makes 1 dozen.
