Enjoy the holiday flavors of these peppermint-infused shortbread cookies. The buttery richness complements the refreshing burst of peppermint perfectly, making them a delectable treat for any occasion.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract. 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies. 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Instructions: Melt the butter and mix it with the powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix the peppermint extract in well after adding it. Mix the flour and salt in slowly until the dough comes together. Spread the crushed peppermint candies out evenly in the dough after you've added them. Make a log out of the dough and cover it with plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm the oven up to 325F 165C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Cut the chilled dough into rounds that are 1/4 inch thick and place them on the baking sheet that has been floured. After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way. If you want to add more flavor and decoration, you can melt some more peppermint candies and drizzle them over the cookies once they are cool. The cookies are ready to eat once the drizzle has set.
