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
Adapted from Better Homes and Gardens Cocoa-Mint Wafers

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.
