How to Make the Cookies
Step 1: In a large bowl, cream butter, cornstarch, and powdered sugar until creamy. Add in the peppermint extract. Add the flour and mix until combined.
Step 2: To keep the cookies similar in size we measured out 2 oz. of dough for each cookie on a food scale and rolled the dough into a ball.
Step 3: We pressed the ball down on the cookie sheet with the bottom of a floured drinking glass.
Step 4: Bake the cookies in a 350-degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until light brown around the edges.
How to Make the Frosting
Step 5: While the cookies are cooling, make up a batch of our super delicious The Best Peppermint Buttercream Frosting. It is the perfect topping for Peppermint Cookies. You can find the recipe and detailed instructions on how to make this frosting right here.
Putting it All Together
Step 7: Crush a handful of Peppermint Candies. I placed them in a plastic bag and crushed them with a small hammer.
Steps 8-9: Frost the cookies. For a bit of extra Christmas-time flair, we pressed a row of crushed Peppermint Candies around the edge of the frosted cookie! Yum.
