Cookie
1 3/4 cups Gluten-Free Flour Blend (see below)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Coating
15 ounces vanilla or chocolate-flavored candy coating (almond bark)

Hard peppermint candies, coarsely crushed
STEP 1
Combine gluten-free flour blend, cocoa, baking powder and salt in bowl until well mixed; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine powdered sugar and butter in another bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg and peppermint extract; continue beating until well mixed. Gradually add flour mixture; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 3
Divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight until firm.
STEP 4
Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 5
Roll out dough on surface lightly sprinkled with gluten-free flour blend, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until set. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 6
Place candy coating in bowl; microwave, stirring often, 60-90 seconds. Stir until smooth.
STEP 7
Place waxed paper onto flat surface. Dip each cookie into warm coating; shake off excess. Place onto waxed paper. Immediately decorate as desired. Let stand until coating is set.
STEP 8
Store between layers of waxed paper in loosely covered container.
