This is my new Christmas favorite- I found it in a magazine!!
Cookie:
Cream together until light and fluffy:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
Beat in:
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
Gradually add and mix well:
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Shape dough into 1 inch balls (dough will feel a bit sticky). Place on ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart (or they run into each other as they cook).
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks and cool completely before icing.
Frosting:
2 tbs. butter softened
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 tbs milk
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
2-3 drops red food coloring
Mix together and spread over cooled cookies
Sprinkle cookies with crushed peppermint candies
Makes about 3 1/2 dozen
