These Peppermint Meltaway Cookies are buttery, minty, and irresistibly delicious. The crushed peppermint candies add a delightful crunch and a burst of peppermint flavor. Perfect for holiday gatherings or any time you crave a sweet treat with a refreshing twist.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 tsp peppermint extract. 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup cornstarch. 1/2 cup finely crushed peppermint candies about 12 candies.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the peppermint extract and mix until well combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and cornstarch to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Fold in the crushed peppermint candies into the dough. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies have cooled, you can dust them with additional powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy these delicious Peppermint Meltaway Cookies!
