These turned out perfect—crushed candy canes make them nice and crispy on the outside, with a soft melt-in-the-mouth explosion on the inside. I was really impressed a bit like shortbread with a minty twist.

Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Cream the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl beaten on medium speed with an electric.
Add the egg, peppermint, and vanilla extracts and beat until well blended.
Gradually add the flour and salt; mix well.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Coat two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix well with the crushed candy canes and granulated sugar in a shallow bowl.
Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls then roll each ball in the candy cane mixture; place on the baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until browned.
Immediately remove from the baking sheets and place on wire racks to cool.
