Time 2h

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened (do not use margarine)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
3 tablespoons finely crushed hard peppermint candies (about 6 candies)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark), melted

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. On low speed, beat in flour and peppermint extract.
  • On ungreased cookie sheet, pat dough into 6-inch square, about 3/4 inch thick. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 325°F. On cookie sheet, cut dough into 8 rows by 8 rows, making 64 squares. With knife, separate rows by 1/4 inch.
  • Bake 28 to 35 minutes or until set and edges are just starting to turn golden. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix crushed candy and granulated sugar. In small resealable food-storage plastic bag, place melted candy coating. Seal bag; cut tiny hole in corner of bag.
  • Do not remove cookies from cookie sheet. Pipe candy coating over cookies. Before candy coating sets, sprinkle candy mixture over cookies. Place cookies to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
