Ingredients

• 115 g Unsalted butter, softened
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Peppermint extract
• 190 g All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 50 g Crushed peppermint candies
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition to form a smooth dough.

Step 6

Gently fold in the crushed peppermint candies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten each ball of dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a thin crisp shape. Optionally, sprinkle a little more crushed peppermint candy on top of each cookie for extra flair.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy these festive peppermint candy crisps with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite holiday beverage!
