“This makes a nice crumbly butter cookie with a tasty hint of peppermint   They taste a lot better than they look in my picture! haha”

Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely crushed candy canes
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and the peppermint and vanilla extracts; beat until well blended.

3. Gradually add the flour and salt; mix until thoroughly blended. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

4. In a small bowl, combine the crushed candy canes and the granulated sugar. Shape the chilled cookie dough into 1-1/2-inch balls then roll each in the candy cane mixture, coating completely. Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.

5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool completely.
