This was passed on to me by a friend. At the top she had witten: This buttermint sugar cookie recipe is not your common sugar cookie. You like something a little different, so this one is for you. I'm not exactly sure just how she meant that but it sounds good. Ingredients:
4 ounces soft pastel butter mints |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup salted butter, softened |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
colored sugar sprinkle, if desired |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. Place buttermints and a 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a sturdy plastic sandwich bag and crush with rolling pin, meat mallet, or hammer.
4. In a large bowl, combine crushed mint mixture with butter, with an electric mixer set at medium speed, beat for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add egg and vanilla extract; continue beating until well mixed.
6. Reduce speed to low, and add gradually add flour mixture. Beat until well mixed.
7. Shape balls into 1-inch balls; roll in decorator sugar if desired. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Immediately remove cookies and transfer to a cooling surface.
