Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 3-5 tablespoons heavy cream
- 12 round peppermint candies, crushed, for decorating
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract on medium-high until pale and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in egg, then flour mixture on low. Stir in chocolate chips.
Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place, 2 inches apart, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are lightly golden, about 12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to racks and let cool completely.
Stir together confectioners’ sugar and enough cream to make a spreadable glaze (if you like a strong mint flavor, stir in up to 1/4 teaspoon extract). Spread a thin layer of glaze on top of each cookie and sprinkle with candies. Let dry completely on racks.

This recipe is amazing and turned out perfectly! It’s definitely going into my annual Christmas cookie recipe collection. So good and so simple!! I did add 1/4 tsp peppermint extract tithe icing and piped it onto the cooled cookies using a ziplock bag instead of spreading it on with a knife. Much more simple. Can’t wait to share these with my friends and family!

Delicate crispy treats the whole family will enjoy! Doogums, my Pomeranian doberman x breed, absolutely devoured everything when we went to market last weekend. Silly dog! good thing it wasn't chocolate or we'd be at the sad place

These may be the best cookies I've ever made and that says a lot coming from a chocolate lover like myself. I used crushed candy canes instead of the round candies and I opted to flavor the icing with mint. The cookie has a subtle mint flavor with just the right amount of chocolate chips. They were a big hit with my kids and my guests.
