INGREDIENTS
Dough
- 🧈 1 cup butter, softened
- 🧂 ¾ cup white sugar
- 🥚 1 large egg, beaten
- 🍞 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candy canes
Icing
- ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- 💧 5 teaspoons warm water
- 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candy canes, or to taste (Optional)
STEPS
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until completely incorporated. Mix in flour and salt to form a soft dough. Fold in crushed candy canes. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 1 inch apart onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, 8 to 10 minutes more.
Make the icing: Whisk confectioners' sugar and warm water together in a small bowl until smooth. Dip the top of a cookie into icing, then sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Repeat with remaining cookies. Allow icing to set before serving, at least 5 minutes.
