Time 30m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 ¼ cups butter, softened
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar, or as needed
1 cup finely crushed peppermint candy
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
  • Beat 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar with the butter, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and egg in a mixing bowl at Medium speed until well blended and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to Low, and gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy using a wooden spoon.
  • Place the white sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll a small amount of cookie dough between your hands to make 3/4 inch diameter balls. Roll in sugar. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and cool on racks.
  • Meanwhile, to make the glaze, stir the remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar together with the milk in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle cooled cookies with the glaze, and sprinkle immediately with the remaining crushed peppermint candy.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I still enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet, and the chocolate flavor is really rich.
