Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup corn starch
Parchment Paper
Mix butter, sugar, crushed candy and vanilla thoroughly using electric mixer. Gradually blend in flour and corn starch.
Form into 1-inch balls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten using fingers or flat bottom glass (dip glass in sugar to prevent sticking).
Bake in preheated 300 oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bottoms begin to brown.
Cool for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting:
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 to 2 tbsp. milk
1/2 vanilla extract
2 tbsp. crushed peppermint candy
Combine all ingredients (except candy) and mix until smooth. Drizzle cookies with frosting and sprinkle with crushed candy.
These are pretty cookies. Great for Christmas or Showers.
