A festive shortbread cookie with a touch of peppermint. A great use for broken and left over candy canes. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons milk |
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies |
Directions:
1. Mix butter, sugar, crushed candy and vanilla - gradually blending in flour and corn starch.
2. Form 1-inch balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten.
3. Bake in 300°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until bottoms start to brown.
4. Cool and remove to a wire rack.
5. Combine confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla until frosting is smooth. Drizzle on cookies and sprinkle with crushed candy.
