Mmmm... delicious.

Here's the recipe:
Peppermint Crisscross Cookies
Prep: 10 MIN Bake: 15 MIN serves: 36
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder.
1/4 tsp salt
1 c. unsalted butter, softened
3.4 c. sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. crushed peppermint candies or candy cane

1. Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt in a medium bowl. With electric-mixer on medium speed, beat butter until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and beat until well blended. Add flour mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in crushed candies.
3/ Form dough by tablespoonfuls into 1-inch balls. Place balls on 2 large ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart. Firmly press top of each cookie with tines of fork to form crisscross pattern.
4. Bake until cookies are golden brown on bottom and firm in center, 14-15 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking time. Let cookies cool slightly on baking sheet, about 3 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack and let cool completely.
