Ingredients

  • Cookie
  • 1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 Land O Lakes® Egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
  • 2 to 3 drops green food color, if desired
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F. Combine all cookie ingredients except flour in bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add flour; beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. If dough is too soft to form cookies, cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.

Place dough into cookie press fitted with desired template; form desired shapes, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Place waxed paper onto flat surface; top with cooling racks. Remove cookies to cooling racks. Cool completely.

Combine powdered sugar and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency in bowl; mix well. Drizzle over cooled cookies; sprinkle with crushed mint candies.
