Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, vegetable oil, sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving space for spreading.
Baking
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.
Icing
- While the cookies cool, prepare the icing by mixing the melted butter, vanilla, peppermint extract, and milk into the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over each cooled cookie and generously sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
