Soft Peppermint Spritz Cookies image

This quick recipe makes a lot of cookies, and the peppermint flavor is a change from traditional spritz cookies. I tint some of the dough green or red, and I leave the rest white. The decorating ideas are endless! —Carole Resnick, Cleveland, Ohio

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
