First time posting. I hope I don't disappoint/mess up.
I just made these tonight.

Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1-1/4 all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn starch

Glaze:
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 to 2 tablespoon milk
a few drops of red food coloring

Optional:
crushed candy canes / peppermint candy.

Combine butter, powder sugar and peppermint extract. Beat until creamy. Add flour and cornstarch. Cover; refrigerate until firm.

Round dough into 1-inch balls, place 2 inches apart.

Bake in preheated oven at 350°F for 12 to 15 minuets or until edges are lightly browned.

Once cool, drizzle the glaze over the cookies. Sprinkle the crush candy on top.
