Y is for York Peppermint Pattie Cookies

The Star of this recipe

"The chill of peppermint, the rich dark chocolate, York peppermint pattie. Get the sensation." We all know those commercials where the girl rips open the wrapper and wind breezes through her hair, her eyes dialate and she gets chills while eating these things. Not gonna lie I wish that happened when I ate a York Peppermint Pattie...yeah I am weird. Hey guys sorry it's been a while, but I'm back now and that's all that matters.

The dark chocolate enrobed peppermint confection, known as York Peppermint Pattie had humble beginnings when Henry C. Kessler invented it in York Pennsylvania in 1940. It then grew to become an american classic.
This is going to be a pretty short post just letting you know, but over all this recipe was a real crowd pleaser. Just like the Apple dumplings, I got the perfect technique by the end of it.

First, flatten the sticky batter into your palm

Then lie the batter on top of one of the cookies, until it dropped over; ya know gravity and all.

Finally, pinch the dough to completely cover the rest of the cookie!

Repeat until an entire cookie sheet is filled with these babies!

 I brought a lot to my school and all my friends loved it. My sister brought the rest for her friend's birthday at school and she showed them off.

They were pretty easy, just a tad messy, but other than that they were really fun to make and shape. 

Ooey, gooey, and delicious; the slow motion shots capture it don't ya think?
