#2076 - Peppermint Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 cup softened butter
1/2 cup Domino's powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Glaze: 1 1/2 cups Domino's powdered sugar; 2 TBSP softened butter; 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract; 1 or 2 TBSP milk

In a mixer add 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract--beat. Slowly add flour and cornstarch--beat. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour. Remove batter from refrigerator--scoop batter by a rounded teaspoonful and shape it into a 1" ball. Place dough ball on greased cookie sheets. Repeat with all batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let cookies stand for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets. Cool cookies completely. Glaze: in a bowl add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2 TBSP butter and 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract--stir until smooth. Add 1 TBSP of milk at a time and stir--only add enough milk to get a glaze consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
