Easy Peppermint Candy Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® Sugar Cookie Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal® All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 container (12 oz) Betty Crocker® Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Betty Crocker® Red Decorating Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and flour until dough forms. Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.

In small bowl, mix frosting and peppermint extract. Spread each cookie with frosting. Using small spoon, sprinkle red sugar onto cookies in spiral design to look like peppermint candies.
