    • ¾ Cup MagicalButter

    • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar

    • 1 Large Egg (Room Temperature)

    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

    • ¼ teaspoon Peppermint Extract

    • 1 ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour

    • ⅛ teaspoon Salt

    blank

    • 10 ounces Milk Chocolate Melting wafers

    • ½ teaspoon Magical Coconut Oil

    • ⅛ teaspoon Peppermint Extract

    Directions

      blank

      1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the Magical Butter on high for 1 minute, until smooth and creamy.

      2. Add the sugar and beat on medium speed until light colored and fluffy.

      3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint on high speed, taking breaks to scrape down the sides until completely combined.

      4. In a medium bowl whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until free of clumps. Add into a large mixing bowl and mix on medium high speed until dough comes together.

      5. Dough will be slightly sticky, scrape it out of the bowl onto a clean countertop or parchment paper. Divide dough into two balls. Roll each ball of dough out until about ¼ inch thick. Wrap in plastic and allow to chill for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.

      6. Once the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 350° F. Cut out your cookies using a circular cookie cutter.

      7. Bake cookies for 8-10 (2 inch cookies) or 12-15 minutes (3 inch cookies) until the edges of your cookie have set.

      8. Let your cookies cool completely on your baking sheet to allow the middle of the cookies to finish baking on the pan.

      9. Once cool it's time to dip.

      1. Using a large glass bowl in the microwave, double boiler, or a chocolate melter, melt down your chocolate.

      2. Once the chocolate has been melted down and has a uniform consistency add the Magical Coconut Oil and mix thoroughly.

      3. Add your peppermint extract and mix well.

      4. Using a fork, dip your cookies into the chocolate, allow the excess chocolate to drip off the fork and set onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      5. Once you're done dipping the cookies transfer to the fridge to allow the chocolate to set.

      6. Cover and store cookies at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!

      Why Choose MCT Oil for Herbal Infusions?

      Many people ask, "What is MCT oil?" and wonder why it works so well for infusion. MCT oil is a concentrated form of medium-chain triglyceride oil that is rapidly metabolized by the body.

      MCT oil absorbs faster than many traditional fats. This means infused compounds may reach the bloodstream more efficiently.

      MCT oil, whether infused or not, also provides a noticeable energy boost. This makes it appealing for people who want both infusion and metabolic support.

      How Does an Herb-Infused Oil Work in the Body?

      An herb-infused oil delivers fat-soluble compounds through digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Because MCT oil is processed quickly, uptake may occur faster than with heavier oils.

      Research shows infusions with MCT oil tend to reach the bloodstream more quickly, so you may not need to wait as long to notice effects. Faster absorption can allow smaller serving sizes to feel effective.

      What Makes This MCT Oil Recipe More Consistent?

      This MCT oil recipe uses fixed temperature and automated blending. Controlled heat protects delicate compounds from degradation. Consistency begins with temperature control.

      Sunflower lecithin improves emulsification. That helps distribute botanical compounds evenly through the oil.

      How to Use MCT Oil in Everyday Recipes

      If you are wondering how to use MCT oil after infusing, start with small measured amounts. It blends easily into smoothies, coffee, sauces, and baked goods.

      Herb-infused MCT oil typically has a more neutral flavor. This makes it flexible for both sweet and savory dishes. Start low and measure carefully.

      Everything You Need for Reliable Oil Infusions

      Reliable oil infusions come from the right tools working together from start to finish. When preparation, infusion, straining, and storage are aligned, results become repeatable and easy to manage.

      The right equipment turns a simple recipe into a controlled process. Each tool supports consistency, cleanliness, and accurate measuring.

      Magical Bakers Bundle

      The Magical Bakers Bundle brings the full infusion system into one package. It includes:

      The MB2e MagicalButter Machine

      DecarBox Thermometer Combo Pack

      Sunflower Lecithin Powder

      A 190 Micron Filter

      Measuring cups

      A silicone heat-resistant glove

      Magical 21UP Butter Mold

      Mason Jars for Clean Storage

      Store herb-infused oil in a sealed glass jar away from light. Refrigeration slows oxidation and preserves freshness. Mason jars provide durable glass storage that helps preserve freshness.

      Glass does not react with oil and does not absorb flavor. Sealed lids limit oxygen contact and extend shelf stability.

      Gummy Mix 4 Pack for Recipe Expansion

      Once your MCT oil recipe is complete, you can turn that infusion into finished creations. The Gummy Mix 4 Pack allows you to convert infused oil into measured gummy servings.

      Magical Gummy Molds for Accurate Portions

      Portion size matters when working with concentrated oil. Magical Gummy Molds provide uniform cavities for even distribution.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is MCT Oil and Why is it Different?

      Medium-chain triglyceride oil is a refined fat sourced mainly from coconut oil. Its shorter chain length allows faster digestion compared to long-chain fats.

      This property makes it ideal for infusion because it carries compounds efficiently. It also remains liquid at room temperature, which simplifies measuring and blending.

      Is This MCT Oil Recipe Beginner-Friendly?

      Yes. Automated temperature cycles simplify the process. Due to this, the risk of mistakes is lower.

      Is It Better To Use Refined Or Unrefined MCT Oil?

      Refined MCT oil typically has a neutral taste and lighter texture. This makes it easier to blend into recipes without affecting flavor.

      Unrefined versions may have a mild coconut note depending on sourcing. For precise recipe control, most people prefer refined oil.

      Can I Use Other Oils Instead of MCT Oil?

      Yes, but other oils may absorb more slowly. Olive oil and butter contain long-chain fats that digest differently.

      MCT oil often provides a cleaner flavor and improved stability.

      How Long Does Herb-Infused Oil Last?

      When stored properly in cool conditions, MCT-based infusions can last several months. Light and heat reduce shelf life.
