  7. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  9. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
  10. Cool completely.
  11. FOR GLAZE, combine 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and enough milk for desired glazing consistency in small bowl.
  12. Stir in food color, if desired.
