1 egg white
4 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon Peppermint oil extract
cornstarch for dusting
1 - 16 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until they have stiff peaks. Add the powdered sugar a bit at a time with an electric mixer. Add the corn syrup and the peppermint oil or extract. Knead the mixture with your hands until it has the smooth consistency of dough.
Roll out LIGHTLY with a rolling pin non a flat surface dusted with cornstarch until it is 1/4 inch thick. Punch out circles with a biscuit cutter . Place them on plates or cookie sheets and allow them to set up for 45 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave , stirring halfway through the heating time. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
Drop each patty into the chocolate and coat completely. Using two forks, lift the patty from the chocolate, tapping off the excess chocolate, and lay flat on waxed paper to dry.
Chill patties until firm....about 45 minutes.
**I have messed around with this recipe a bit. Depending on humidity, use more or less powdered sugar. You just have to get to know the dough.
