How To Make peppermint oatmeal cookies
-
Step 1Cream butter and sugar and then add egg.
-
Step 2Sift together flour, soda, and salt. Add to butter and sugar mixture.
-
Step 3Add quick oats and candy. Batter will be stiff
-
Step 4Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper if you have it… it really helps as the candy tends to melt onto the sheets and stick
-
Step 5Drop dough onto ungreased, cookie sheets and bake at 350 until golden brown… @ 10-12 minutes.
-
Step 6Let cookies cool on pan for @ 1 minute then remove to cookie rack to cool.
-
Step 7Glaze: Stir together all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. I put waxed paper under the cooling racks to help with the cleanup. I also pour the glaze into a zip lock bag and cut one corner off… make sure you don’t cut too much off or your glaze will be gloopy.
