peppermint filling
peppermint candy canes (crushed)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. shape dough into one inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

ReplyDeleteThose look really good!! Have you ever made them before? I always love baking around Christmas and I want to know if they are difficult to make. And maybe they would go well with Chick-fil-a's peppermint milkshakes? hahah or that might be overkill, but I love the sound of them and will definitely make some!
