PEPPERMINT MELTAWAYS
This recipe for peppermint meltaways is very pretty and festive-looking on a cookie platter. I often cover a plate of these peppermint cookies with red or green plastic wrap and a bright holiday bow in one corner. And yes, they really do melt in your mouth! -Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

PEPPERMINT MELTAWAYS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar and the butter and mix until light and fluffy. Add the peppermint extract and mix to combine. Next, slowly add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the peppermint candies.
- Roll the dough into twenty-four 1 1/2-inch balls. Insert 1 chocolate morsel into each ball and re-roll to ensure that the cookie dough encases the chocolate. Next, transfer to the bowl with the powdered sugar and crushed candies rolling each to coat.
- Place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 1-inch apart. Bake until they start to turn golden brown on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Remove and transfer to wire cooling rack. Cool until they are just cool enough to handle, 5 minutes. Return the cookies to the bowl with the powdered sugar and crushed candies and toss gently until each cookie is coated.
- Store in an airtight container.
PEPPERMINT MELTAWAYS MELTAWAY COOKIES
These cookies are so dainty and pretty that I served them at my daughter's birthday tea. When I make them during the year, I use multicolored sprinkles on top rather than the crushed candy canes. They are on my "must have" list at Christmas. They are always the first to go at a party. I've had several people say, "I just can't stop eating them". Best eaten within about 2 days of baking. Note that dough does need to be chilled for about an hour before baking.

Steps:
- FOR COOKIES, combine sugar, butter and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract in large mixer bowl.
- Beat at medium speed until creamy (1 to 2 minutes).
- Reduce speed to low; add flour and cornstarch.
- Beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
- Cover; refrigerate until firm (30 to 60 minutes).
- Heat oven to 350°F Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
- Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
- Cool completely.

- (I have found it is easier to put the crushed candy in a bowl and"dip" the top of cookies in them right after I frost them).
