Recipe
Combine sugar, butter and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract in large mixer
bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Reduce speed to
low; add flour and cornstarch. Beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
Cover; refrigerate until firm (30 to 60 minutes). Heat oven to 3500F. Shape
rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on
ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are
lightly browned. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool
completely. For glaze, combine 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons
butter, 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and enough milk for desired glazing
consistency in small bowl. Stir in food color, if desired. Drizzle over
cooled cookies. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy.
