- ¼ Teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 2 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).

Add the egg yolks, vanilla, and peppermint extract. Mix until combined.
-
Next add the flour and salt. Continue to mix on low speed until all the ingredients are just combined. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Use a small to medium cookie scoop, or roll the dough to about a tablespoon in size, and place on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Transfer cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Recipe Notes
Notes:
*These cookies taste similar to shortbread cookies rather than sugar cookies.
*Cookies will sometimes crack, so don’t be alarmed if they crack a bit when added the kisses.
*Try to make the cookies uniform in size, to ensure even cooking.
*The cookies in these pictures had red and white decorating sugar added in addition to the candy cane kisses.
