Time 40m

Yield 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package (17-1/2 ounces) sugar cookie mix
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
12 drops food coloring
24 Andes mint candies
Black and white jimmies
Decorating icing and candy eyeballs, optional

Steps:

  • Mix cookie mix and flour; stir in melted butter, egg, extracts and food coloring until blended. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a 1-in.-thick square; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to an 8x6-in. rectangle. Cut each rectangle into twelve 2-in. squares. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake until edges begin to brown, 7-9 minutes. Remove from oven; place a mint candy at the top of each square. Return to oven; bake until chocolate begins to melt, 1-2 minutes., Using a spatula, spread mint candies to cover top end of cookies; sprinkle with jimmies for hair. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate faces as desired, using icing and eyeballs.
