Instructions

1. Make a half-batch of our Best Sugar Cookie Recipe with the following change.  Add an additional 1 1/4 teaspoon of Peppermint Extract when you add the Vanilla.
2. Roll out cookie dough and cut out cookie bites with a small circle cookie cutter.
3. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 3-4 minutes depending on how thick or thin you rolled the dough. Check on the cookies at the 3-minute mark, because they are so small you don't want to overbake them.  The edges will be slightly golden when they are ready to come out of the oven.
4. Allow the cookies to cool.
5. Make a batch of our Best Peppermint Buttercream Frosting recipe.
6. Using a decorating bag and a Wilton 2A Round Decorating Tip add a dollop of frosting to the sugar cookie bite.
7. Press crushed Candy Canes into the frosting to decorate the cookie.
