How to cook deliciously - Peppermint Snowballs

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.

Beat 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar with the butter, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and egg in a mixing bowl at Medium speed until well blended and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to Low, and gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy using a wooden spoon.

Bake in preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and cool on racks.

Meanwhile, to make the glaze, stir the remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar together with the milk in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle cooled cookies with the glaze, and sprinkle immediately with the remaining crushed peppermint candy.
