Peppermint Cookies
"These soft, caky peppermint cookies are topped with a pretty pink peppermint frosting, and then sprinkled with crush candy canes! They are a gorgeous addition to your holiday cookie trays. I actually tested several peppermint cookies and wasn’t crazy about any of them. So instead I adapted my frosted sugar cookie bars to come up with the perfect recipe. I was testing Christmas cookies in September, so my neighbor was loving all the taste tests. My version of peppermint cookies won out over three others I tried. So I’m confident in saying that these are a real winner!"
