Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/4 recipe Basic Sugar-Cookie Dough
Sanding sugar or colored sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • Divide dough in half. Roll out each half between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer each half to a baking sheet; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks on upper and lower thirds. Remove one sheet of dough from refrigerator, and let stand 1 minute. Using a 3-inch snowflakeshaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Place shapes 2 inches apart on parchment- lined baking sheets. Gather together scraps, and reroll as above; chill until firm, 10 to 15 minutes, then cut out more shapes. Repeat process with second sheet of dough.
  • Decorate cookies with sanding sugar or sprinkles, as desired.
  • Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching positions of sheets halfway through, until golden around the edges and slightly firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 1 minute; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

These cookies were a little too minty for my taste. I think next time I'll use half the amount of peppermint extract.

I couldn't find peppermint extract in the store, so I used vanilla extract instead. The cookies still turned out delicious, but I'm sure they would have been even better with peppermint.

I liked the snowflake design on these cookies. They tasted good, but lacked a little something. Perhaps adding some nuts or dried fruit would have improved the flavor.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate chips help to balance out the mint flavor, and the cookies are really soft and chewy.

These cookies were a little dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
