Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make short work of crushing hard peppermint candy. Place candy in a large plastic food-storage bag, and chill in the freezer. Crush candy inside of the bag by lightly pounding with the smooth side of a meat mallet or a small pot.
  • tip 2
    We recommend using butter in this recipe for the most tender cookies.
