12 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
13 cup sugar
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg (yolk only)
34 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
12 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 14 cups all-purpose flour
14 teaspoon salt
8 to 10 drops red food color
coarse grain sugar, if desired
36 large chocolate chips or mini chocolate candy pieces
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2
Place butter and sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg yolk, peppermint flavoring and vanilla; beat until well mixed. Add flour and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 3
Remove half of dough from bowl. Add small amount of red food color to dough in bowl; mix well.
STEP 4
Divide each half of dough into quarters; roll each quarter to 9-inch log. Place 1 red log next to 1 white log; twist gently to swirl dough. Roll gently to smooth. Repeat with remaining dough.
STEP 5
Cut each swirled rope of dough into 9 pieces; roll each piece gently into a ball. Roll each ball in coarse grain sugar, if desired. Place onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 11-13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Immediately press 1 chocolate chip in center of each ball.
We took a favorite Christmas cookie - the Peanut Butter Blossom - and gave it a few new looks. These cookies aren't just for Christmas anymore - enjoy at any holiday!
