Easy After Eight Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies – a tasty variation of the classic cookie recipe. If you are a fan of after 8s, mint chocolate, or mint in general, you will love these cookies. The mint is coming in, not with a great deal of force, but very gently. Gives the cookies very refreshing notes of mint.
After every Christmas, we always end up with an abundance of after eights – so they tend to be tucked behind our cupboards…so we thought – how can we use them?
Could we use them in cookies? – Let’s give it a go we thought. And it worked quite well. We stuffed after 8s inside a mint chocolate chip cookie dough.
When they baked, the after eights melted inside – which created that thin line of mint fudginess…yum!
We used a bit of matcha to make the cookies look green, but for a cheaper version, you can use a green food dye.
How To Make After Eight Mint Cookies:
Only a couple of cupboard ingredients are needed!
1.Flour
2.Sugar
3. Butter
4.Egg
5.Matcha powder – or green food dye
6.Peppermint Extract
7. Vanilla Extract
8.Chocolate Chips
9.Cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda.
10. And of course – after eights.
The method is pretty simple – the dried ingredients are combined, and the wet ingredients are combined separately. Then, the dry ingredients are mixed with the wet ingredients. The dough is then left to chill in the fridge for an hour.
Once the dough has chilled, we shape 3oz balls from the dough and stuff them with after eight. Then we bake. Easy!
