Walk down the street popping peppermint candy sugar cookies into your mouth rather than the plastic wrapped mint drops. You'll fill your tummy a lot faster and be more satisfied. Sugar cookie dough is made into little gum drop circles and placed onto a platter to be baked. They are decorated using royal icing in pink and white. It's your choice whether you want your treats to resemble the packaged sweets you carry in your pocket by adding swirls. Or you can choose to place little pink icing stars, hearts and snowflakes.
Wrap your peppermint candy sugar cookies in clear plastic treat bags and tie red and white twine around the ends. These yummy mini cookies would make great holiday stocking stuffers.
