I just tried this recipe today getting my Xmas baskets to finish filling up with treats. This is a simple and easy recipe. I read the other reviews first and this is the adjustments I made.
I added sugar to 1 cup, following according to the recipe, when I added the one egg I beat in 1 tsp peppermint extract. They were just a bit dry to roll but it worked out. I lined my baking sheet with parchment paper and baked that way,, seems to correct the sticky mess of the candy canes. It also took me 10 - 12 minutes to bake. They don't brown up much just a little on the bottom. I ended up with 4 dozen yummy cookies.
These turned out perfect will definitely keep for every year. Thanks for sharing..
Made these cookies at work last year and everyone enjoyed them. Plan on making them again this year for the banquet. I am also giving them as Christmas gifts. Thank you for a great cookie that I will always use.
I am not a peppermint fan but thought they looked festive for Christmas. I followed some of the reviews and upped the sugar to one cup as well as 1 tsp of peppermint flavoring. OMGOSH, these are delicious. I just made another batch with butterscotch candies. I used 1 tsp of vanilla and the full cup of sugar. These did not keep a round shape. Next time I will put them in the fridge to harden a bit before making the balls. Also my baking time for both was between 14 and 15 minutes. 48 cookies per batch.
Seriously my new favorite peppermint cookie it made about 4 dozen for us. Easy enough for my girls to make by themselves.
My coworkers and family are now calling these "Christmas Crack"! This is a new favorite peppermint cookie recipe and I made it exactly as posted! Thank you!
no flavor except for the sharp peppermints.
These are wonderful pepperminty treats I added to my Christmas cookie list! The changes I made were..... to add one tsp of peppermint extract to the dough & 1/8 tsp to the glaze, using milk w/confectioners sugar & I increased the sugar to 1 cup instead of 3/4 cup as it wasn't quite sweet enuff to my sugar happy family! Yummy!!
I made a gluten free version of this recipe using a gluten free baking mix. It turned out well because the peppermint candy pieces that are in the dough really help hold the cookie together which is great because some GF products can be a bit crumbly. Nice easy recipe. The candy topping really makes them look festive.
It was a decent cookie. The cookies could have had more flavor. They were very floury and not sweet enough. The icing and extra peppermint on top helped boost the flavor a lot. Next time I think I will add just a bit more sugar.
