Time 2h35m

Yield 120 to 150 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces (2 sticks) cool unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Colored sugars of your choice

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) until smooth. With the mixer running at low speed, add the remaining ingredients (except the colored sugars) and mix until smooth. Form the dough into 2 disks, wrap them separately in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour. The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • When you're ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a little less than 1/4 inch thick.
  • Using a thimble, and dipping it in flour often to keep the cookies from sticking, cut out tiny rounds of dough. Carefully transfer to cookie sheets. Reroll the scraps once and cut out more cookies, then discard the scraps (they will become tough if you keep rerolling them).
  • Sprinkle the tops with plain or colored sugars, then press the sugar lightly into the cookie with your thumbs. Bake until light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookie dough. Let the cookies cool on wire racks and store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

These cookies are so cute and festive! I love the way they look like little Christmas trees. They're also very tasty, with a delicious combination of chocolate and peppermint.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try making them with a different type of chocolate next time.

I've never been a big fan of thimble cookies, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm so glad I did! These cookies are amazing. They're soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of chocolate and peppermint.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies were so easy to make! I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to follow the recipe easily and they turned out great.

These cookies were a bit too minty for my taste. I think I'll try using less peppermint extract next time.

I love the idea of these cookies, but I found them to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil to the dough next time.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much in the oven and turned out flat and crispy. I think I must have done something wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try making them with half the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I still really enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent, and the cookies are perfectly crispy.
