St. Patty's Day Cookies

Something I love to do, baking!  It's relaxing, it's rewarding, and my boys love to help too.

So here is the first post on one of my favorite things:


FOOD

Doesn't that look good?



Butter Cookies and Junior Mints
1 cup of butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
Green colored sugar
Junior Mints

Cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in extract.  Gradually add flour and mix well. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls.  Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten with a glass dipped in colored sugar.  Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes or until firm.  Place one Junior Mint on each cookie, allow to cool for 1 minute.  Remove to wire racks to cool.

Green Beer optional, Enjoy!
