Ingredients:  
1 egg white
4 c powdered sugar
1/3 c light corn syrup
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
cornstarch for dusting
12 oz bag of semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Directions:
1. In a medium glass or ceramic bowl, beat the egg white until frothy but not stiff.
2. Slowly add the sugar while blending on medium speed.
3. Add the corn syrup and peppermint extract and knead with your hands until it has the smooth consistency of dough. Add more powdered sugar if necessary, until mixture is no longer sticky.
4. Using a flat surface and rolling pin heavily dusted with cornstarch, roll out the peppermint dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Punch out circles of peppermint dough with a biscuit cutter. Place them on cookie sheets or plates and let them firm up in the refrigerator; about 45 minutes.
6. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave set on high for 2 minutes. Stir halfway through the heating time. Melt thoroughly, but do not overheat.
7. Drop each pattie into the chocolate and coat completely. Using a large serving fork, or 2 dinner forks, one in each hand, lift the coated patty from the chocolate. Gently tap the forks against the bowl to knock off the excess chocolate, and place each patty on wax paper.
8. Chill the patties until firm, about 30 minutes.
