Ingredients

  • 1 C. butter, softened
  • ½ C. powdered sugar
  • ¼ C. Clabber Girl® Corn Starch
  • 1 ½ C. all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. peppermint extract
  • 16 oz. vanilla candy coating
  • 2 C. crushed peppermint candies

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar, corn starch, flour and salt.
  3. Mix until semi-blended and crumbly.
  4. Add the yolks and extracts and blend on medium speed until you have a soft dough.
  5. Divide the dough in half and press each into a flat disk and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm enough to handle (about 1 hour).
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with a bench knife or cookie cutters. Repeat with the other disk.
  7. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Melt candy coating in a microwave safe container.
  11. Dip cooled cookies in candy and place on a waxed paper lined sheet tray. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Allow to dry completely before storing.

Tips

These are delicate cookies. Be gentle when dipping into candy coating.
