EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

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.

We recommend using butter in this recipe for the most tender cookies.

A variation on these cookies is instead of rolling in powdered sugar and the crushed candies is after they are completely cool dip in melted white chocolate and then did in crushed peppermint. These are a huge favorite to all that receive them and I get alot of requests for more.
