Ingredients
1
batch
sugar cookie dough
1-2
teaspoons
pure peppermint extract
3
drops
red food colouring
Instructions
In a medium bowl, knead peppermint extract into sugar cookie dough. Once well combined, place half of the dough into a separate bowl.
Add red food coloring to one half of the cookie dough. Stir and knead until dough is a vibrant shade of red.
Pinch off pieces of dough, alternating between red and non-dyed pieces, and layer in a log shape on a piece of parchment paper.
Roll up in the parchment paper, in log form, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Once chilled, remove the dough from parchment paper and slice into 1/4 inch slices.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet in a 350°F preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
Remove to a wire rack to cool before serving.
