Peppermint Cookies

Last Christmas a group of us attended the Christmas Tour put on by one of our local churches. If you all remember, Lovella was very busy preparing her home for this event. As we travelled through one home, the hostess served these small button-like peppermint cookies. We tasted...we looked at each other thinking...Can we ask for this recipe? I dared and was not sorry. The hostess most delightfully shared her Peppermint recipe. Anyone can make these delicious cookies. And you don't need to run out to Funk's to purchase ammonia...it's hard to find, all you need is peppermint extract.


Ingredients

• 1 cup whipping cream / heavy cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp. peppermint extract
• 3 cups flour

1. Cream together the heavy cream, sugar and egg. (do not whip the cream beforehand)
2. Add baking powder, peppermint extract and flour.
3. Mix together into a soft dough and roll out and use small cookie cutters.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or till bottoms are barely brown.
Ice with pale green icing and dust with coconut.

Just another one of those simple recipes to spark up your Christmas repertoire.
