Ingredients:
For the peppermint candy hearts:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 tsp salt
Red food coloring
For the peppermint candy glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Red food coloring
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven and prepare your baking sheet
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: Make the peppermint candy hearts
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the peppermint extract and mix until well combined. Slowly add in the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and add a few drops of red food coloring to one half. Mix until the desired color is achieved. Take small pieces of each dough and roll them into ropes. Twist the ropes together and form into a heart shape on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 3: Bake and cool
Bake the peppermint candy hearts for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Make the peppermint candy glaze
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until a smooth glaze forms. Add a few drops of red food coloring and mix until the desired color is achieved.
Step 5: Decorate the hearts
Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the glaze over the cooled peppermint candy hearts. Let the glaze set before serving.
Enjoy these festive and delicious holiday peppermint candy hearts! They make the perfect addition to any holiday dessert platter and are sure to be a hit with everyone. Happy baking!
