Swirled Peppermint Sugar Cookies & Holiday Giveaway!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 3/4 cup flour
- Red food coloring
- Sugar Crystals
Instructions
- Cream butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
- Add egg, vanilla, peppermint extract, baking soda, and cream of tarter in until combined.
- Add flour, one cup at a time, until all the flour is mixed in well.
- Knead into a ball and refrigerate for about an hour.
- After an hour, divide dough into two equal pieces.
- Add red food coloring to one portion and work it in until all of the dough is pink/red.
- Roll both portions out until rectangles, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add a little bit of water to the top of the white dough and then place the red dough on top. Gently roll the rolling pin on top until they are stuck together.
- Roll the dough up. Wet the outside with a small amount of water. Sprinkle sugar crystals on top.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Slice pieces of the dough off, about 1/2 inch thick, and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes. You want to make sure to watch them carefully, because the peppermint chips may start to burn before the cookies would.

Oh, I love how festive these are, Katie! 🙂 And I have to admit- I am fan of the sugar cookies sans the cream of tartar. I like a sugar cookie with a little bit of a chewier texture. These look amazing- pinned! 🙂

I love the swirl in these! My hubby is not too fond of peppermint either but the rest of us are! The kids would enjoy making these at home with me!
