Minty Sugar Cookies

One of my mom's close friends from work made these sugar cookies with minty hershey's kisses in the center, and I decided to make it my own.

So of course, I started from scratch. My base recipe was for a sugar cookie:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
But I added about half a cup of candy canes that had gone through a food processor into the dough, in addition to a teaspoon of peppermint extract. In place of the hershey's kiss, I put an Ande's mint in the center.

Here they are before I put them in the oven:



And then afterwards :)
