A New Twist on Holiday Peppermint Cookies (You Can Make them Gluten Free!)




 I wanted to try out some new cookie recipes this year, and  after making the hermit cookies, I checked out a few more recipes in my daughter-in-law's family reunion cookbook.  This one for peppermint cookies interested me because it didn't use cookie cutters or have you use any additional candies to decorate with. My husband told me to press a walnut piece into each cookie to make them look more festive.  They taste really yummy!


                





 PEPPERMINT COOKIES

1.  Bowl #1  -In a medium-sized bowl put:  2 cups of gluten free flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

2.  Bowl #2:  In another bowl lightly beat 1 egg  and then beat in 1 cup of sugar. Then beat in 2 teaspoons of peppermint extract.

3.  Bowl #3:  In another small bowl put 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

4.  Then alternately add the flour and sour cream mixture to the egg mixture.  Use a wooden spoon to combine or your mixer.

5.  Cover your hands with flour and lightly roll balls of dough the size of a walnut.  Put on the pan allowing for room to expand.  Press down a bit.  I put walnuts on the top for decoration. I always like to bake 4 cookies to check them out.
