Is there anything more Christmasy than peppermint? Well, maybe, but it’s definitely up there. I was craving some cookies the other day, but wanted them to be Christmasy. I decided to use my shortbread cookie as a base for these gluten free peppermint shortbread cookies.
Um. Superman ate four. Four! That may not seem like a lot to you, but Superman does not have a sweet tooth.
These would be awesome for a Christmas party, just a fun recipe to make with your kids, or a yummy treat for a cold winter night.
Seriously, go make these now!

Instructions
- Beat butter until smooth.
- Add sugar, vanilla and peppermint extract. Beat until smooth.
- Slowly add flour into mixture.
- Roll batter into 1" balls and place on a cookie sheet with 2" between them. (Dough will be soft)
- Gently flatten a bit, then bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes or until bottoms begin to brown slightly.
- Let cool completely before removing from baking sheet, or cookies may crumble!
- While those are cooling, melt chocolate chips and 1 tsp peppermint extract in a double boiler or the microwave on low heat.
- Dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate and lay on a parchment paper to cool completely.
- Note: These taste awesome chilled, but don't have to be chilled. =)
