One of our many recommendations— “Love the small-town feel of Alleghany Meat Center. Steve ALWAYS greets you with a genuine welcoming hello! You feel you've known him all of your life!! And the meats are awesome. We've eaten Neese’s sausage for YEARS and now prefer his sausage over Neeses. Imagine that! ...Thanks for an excellent store and our Great Pyrenees Farm also thanks you for the awesome raw meaty bones you make available. And at such a great price!

Goodies From Our Recipe BoxGoodies From Our Recipe BoxHomemade Thin Mints
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour1/4 cup cornstarch6 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder1/2 tsp salt
1 cup white sugar1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature1/3 cup milk 1/2 tsp vanilla extract3/4 tsp peppermint extract
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt, set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar; whisk in milk and the extracts. Gradually beat in flour mixture; blend together completely.
Shape dough into two logs, about 1 1/2 inches (or about 4 cm) in diameter, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for a couple of hours, until dough is very firm.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice dough into rounds not more than 1/4 inch thick (for a nice crispy cookie); place on prepared baking sheet about an inch or so apart, cookies will not spread very much. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until cookies are firm at the edges. Place on wire rack and cool cookies completely. Dip in chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Coating
10 oz dark or semisweet chocolate1/2 cup butter, room temperature
In saucepan over medium low heat, combine chocolate and butter. Melt until chocolate is smooth, the consistency somewhere between chocolate syrup and fudge for a thin coating.
Dip each cookie in melted chocolate, turn with a fork to coat; transfer to parchment paper or wax paper to set up for at least 30 minutes, or until chocolate is cool and firm. Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it smooth and easy to dip into.
Makes about 42 to 48 cookies.
