Cookie Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract until fluffy.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Beat the dry mixture into the butter mixture a quarter cup at a time until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Fold in the crushed peppermint candies.
• Use a small cookie scoop or scoop out roughly 1½ tablespoons of the cookie dough and roll into balls.
• Place the dough scoops at least 1-2 inches apart onto baking sheets lined with parchment.
• Bake for 10 minutes, until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned and the dough is baked through.
• Let the cookies cool for 3-5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then use a metal spatula to transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely, then dust with a generous amount of powdered sugar, and serve.
