Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, (softened)
- ⅔ cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, (for rolling)
Steps
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and salt; beat well. Gradually add flour to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition. Divide dough into thirds; cover and chill for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F. and lightly grease baking sheets.
-
Working with 1 portion of dough at a time, divide each portion into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 2-inch log; curve ends of each log to form a crescent. Place crescents 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
-
Bake for 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets. Carefully roll warm cookies in 1 cup powdered sugar, and then cool completely on wire racks. Store cookies in an airtight container.
