Vegan Dairy Free Thin Mint Cookies
- cookie:
- 18.25 oz box of fudge cake mix (check ingredients)
- 3 Tablespoons veg shortening melted
- 1/2 cup cake flour, measured then sifted well
- 3 Tablespoons water
- non stick cooking spray
- 1 egg worth of prepared Ener-G Egg Replacer
- coating:
- 6 Tablespoons shortening
- 36 oz of your favorite vegan chocolate
- 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Combine all cookie ingredients in a bowl except water...add water a little at a time to make a dough. Chill 2 hours in fridge. Heat oven 350. Roll out dough on floured surface until thin about 1/8-1/16 inch. Cut in desired shape (the smaller the better tasting). A shot glass works well. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Bake cookies 10 minutes. Remove and let cool COMPLETELY!!
- Fudge coating: Combine chocolate (already broken up) with peppermint and shortening in a microwave safe GLASS bowl (plastic makes it taste funny). Heat on medium power for 2 minutes. Stir. Heat one more minute on medium. Stir and continue with short heating until smooth.
- Dip the cookies one at a time with a long prong fork, or wide slotted spoon...this is messy so be careful. Lay the coated cookies on wax paper covered cookie sheet. refrigerate until firm.
