Ingredients
For The Cookies:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- crushed candy cane for garnish
Instructions
For The Cookies:
- Cream together sugar and butter in electric mixer. Add egg and extracts.
- In separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and baking powder.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl, combining until mixed (will be crumbly).
- Combine dough into a ball and roll out on flour. I find it easiest to roll out on parchment paper, cut out shapes, then peel away extra dough, leaving your cut-out shapes ready for baking right on the parchment paper.
- Roll up aluminum foil into a long thin shape and place handles over it to give spoons a real shape!
- Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden.
For the Frosting:
- Cream butter in electric mixer on medium for 1 minute. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until thoroughly mixed.
- Add peppermint frosting and heavy cream and beat again for 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly mixed.
- Top the cookie spoons with a dollop of frosting and a garnish of crushed candy cane!
