One of the many things that I love about Christmas is all of the Christmas baking. These chocolate peppermint shortbread cookies add a pretty touch to any cookie platter and are one of my favorites. They just taste like Christmas!

INGREDIENTS
Cookies

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup butter

Chocolate Ganache

  • 6 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate,chopped
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 325F.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and cocoa powder. Using a pastry blender {or your hands!}, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling together {this may take a little while}. Roll into a ball kneading until smooth.
  • On a floured surface, roll out dough into approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Use a small rectangular cookie cutter or slice into 1 inch x 2 inch rectangles. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just firm in the center. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring whipping cream just to boiling over medium heat. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes and then stir until smooth. Cool for 15 minutes before using.
  • Place 6 peppermint candies into a Ziploc bag and crush into small pieces.
  • Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the tops of the cookies and then sprinkle with the peppermints.

The recipe makes approximately 2 dozen cookies. The plain cookies can be frozen in an airtight container between sheets of waxed paper for up to 3 months. Thaw when ready to use and then decorate with the ganache and peppermint.
