These are just like the oatmeal lace cookies, with that cool taste of peppermint. Great with a hot cup of tea.

Time 55m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
⅓ cup crushed peppermint candies
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed
1 tablespoon very finely crushed peppermint candies, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until creamy and smooth; stir peppermint extract into butter mixture. Whisk flour and salt in a bowl and stir into butter mixture. Gently fold rolled oats and 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candies into the dough.
  • Drop dough by teaspoonful onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between cookies; press cookies 1/4 inch thick with your fingertips.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies have lightly browned edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for at least 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon very finely crushed peppermint candies in a small bowl; transfer to a fine-mesh wire strainer. Dust cooled cookies with peppermint candy mixture.
