Peppermint Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar

Frosting:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar

- 2 Tbsp crushed peppermint candy
Directions
- Mix the butter, sugar, crushed candy, and vanilla thoroughly using a mixer. Gradually blend in the flour and cornstarch.
- Form into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheets. Gently press down each cookie to flatten using fingers or a flat-bottomed drinking glass (dipped in sugar to prevent sticking).
