Patties:
- 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating:
- 10 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, heavy cream, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt until a thick dough forms. Adjust consistency with more cream or powdered sugar as needed. Shape into 1-inch balls, flatten into disks, and freeze on a parchment-lined sheet until firm.
