I can't believe it is already Friday of Christmas Cookies Week! I hope you have been following #ChristmasCookies on social media to see all of the delicious cookie recipes from over 30 bloggers. When I first found out that Nielsen-Massey was sponsoring Christmas Cookies Week I was excited to try their different vanillas and extract flavors and was drawn to their Peppermint Extract. Afterall, how much more festive can you get than peppermint!
These buttery, crispy, Peppermint Sandies have just the right balance of flavor and are the perfect refrigerated cookie to add to your Christmas Cookie platter.
Peppermint Sandies
1 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Shortening
2 eggs
3 cups Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 cup Peppermint Baking Chips
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugars, butter and shortening. Add eggs and peppermint extract and combine till light and fluffy. Mix in flour and baking soda well. Stir in peppermint baking chips.
Divide cookie dough in half. Shape each half into 2 inch diameter log. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 2 to 3 hours, or until firm.
Cut logs into slices. Bake cookies at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown. Cool completely before storing.
