PEPPERMINT MELTAWAYS MELTAWAY COOKIES
These cookies are so dainty and pretty that I served them at my daughter's birthday tea. When I make them during the year, I use multicolored sprinkles on top rather than the crushed candy canes. They are on my "must have" list at Christmas. They are always the first to go at a party. I've had several people say, "I just can't stop eating them". Best eaten within about 2 days of baking. Note that dough does need to be chilled for about an hour before baking.

- (I have found it is easier to put the crushed candy in a bowl and"dip" the top of cookies in them right after I frost them).

MINT MELTAWAYS
This recipe comes from a Betty Crocker cookie cookbook my aunt gave me for a birthday present when I was a kid. It was my first "grown up" cookbook, and little did she know, she started my collection! I like these because they use butter mints and give a mellow minty taste to the shortbread. Prep time includes chilling time.

EGGNOG MELTAWAY COOKIES
The secret to these cookies' melt-in-your-mouth texture is the confectioners' sugar, which easily comes together with almonds in a food processor. The flavors of rum, bourbon and nutmeg make the little snowball lookalikes taste just like your favorite holiday drink.

Steps:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Put the almonds and 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor and process until very finely ground, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and process until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the dough off the inside of the bowl if needed. Add the bourbon and rum and vanilla extracts and pulse until smooth. Add the flour and salt and pulse until the dough forms a ball.
- Roll mounded teaspoons of the dough into balls about 1 inch wide and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are firm when gently pressed, completely dry and just beginning to crack at the top, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes; they will firm as they cool.
- Meanwhile, put the nutmeg and remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar in a pie plate or wide baking dish and mix well. Toss the warm cookies very gently in the sugar mixture until evenly coated; the cookies need to be warm for the first coating of sugar to stick. Cool the cookies on a wire rack completely, about 30 minutes, then toss again in the sugar mixture so they are very white. Sprinkle with additional grated nutmeg.
- Store the cookies in a little bit of extra confectioners' sugar in an airtight container for up to a week.
CHOCOLATE MINT MELT-AWAYS
Steps:
- For cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 heavy large cookie sheets. Using electric mixer, cream butter and extracts in medium bowl until light. Beat in sugar. Beat in half of flour. Stir in remaining flour. Spoon half of dough into pastry bag fitted with no. 4 star tip. Pipe 2 1/2-inch-long ovals with solid centers on prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies 1/2 inch apart. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake until golden brown on edges, about 12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and cool.
- For ganache:
- Bring cream and butter to simmer in heavy small saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate and stir until smooth. Mix in extract. Refrigerate just until firm enough to spread, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Using small metal icing spatula, spread 1 teaspoon ganache over flat side 1 cookie. Arrange ganache side up on prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ganache is firm, about 30 minutes.
- For coating:
- Melt bittersweet chocolate and vegetable shortening in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from over water.
- Dip 1 end of 1 cookie into bittersweet chocolate. Grasp cookie on sides and dip ganache side into bittersweet chocolate; shake cookie to remove excess chocolate. Place cookie on same sheet, chocolate side down. Repeat with remaining cookies. Chill until chocolate sets, 30 minutes. Remove cookies from foil. (Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Refrigerate in single layers in airtight containers. Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.)
CHOCOLATE MINT SANDWICH COOKIES
In this recipe, I used Dutch-process cocoa powder for its dark color and smooth finish. To me, natural cocoa powder has a somewhat fruity chocolate flavor. Generally speaking, the two are not interchangeable. If you're in a pinch, and the recipe calls for less than 3/4 cup, you can substitute natural cocoa powder for Dutched, but not the other way around.

Steps:
- For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. In another large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the yolks and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined. Divide the dough into 2 pieces.
- Lightly dust a piece of parchment with cocoa powder. Roll 1 piece of dough on the prepared parchment to between 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch thick. Using a 2 1/4-inch round, fluted cookie cutter, stamp out as many cookies as you can. Transfer the cookies to the prepared sheets. Roll and cut the remaining dough; you can reroll the scraps once. Chill the unbaked cookies for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Bake until the cookies are set and the tops look dry, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through cooking. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- For the filling: Beat the confectioners' sugar and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Add just enough milk to make a creamy filling. Beat in the mint extract.
- When the cookies are cool, flip half of them over. Spread or pipe about 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling on the flipped cookies. Top with the other halves and press together gently.
MINT-MALLOW SANDWICH COOKIES
A lightened version of Whoopie Pies, with a peppermint twist to make them Christmas-y. Kids love them! Instead of adding peppermint extract and red food coloring, you can add 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies to the marshmallow fluff. $mdash;Dion Frscher, Ann Arbor, Michigan
