1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
36 Ritz crackers
1 peppermint candy cane, crushed (6 inch)

Steps:

  • Omit peppermint extract and candy cane. Spread each cracker with a thin layer of peanut butter before dipping into the melted chocolate.

Tips:

- Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. - If you don't have any fresh mint leaves, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried mint leaves. - Be sure to use unsalted butter, so that the cookies are not too salty. - If you don't have any Ritz crackers, you can use any other type of plain cracker. - Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape. - Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool completely before you enjoy them. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
