This recipe is very pretty and festive-looking on a cookie platter. I often cover a plate of these meltaways with red or green plastic wrap and a bright holiday bow in one corner. And yes, they really do melt in your mouth! —Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

These are our favorite Christmas cookie! A big hit at cookie exchanges.They really do melt in your mouth. I used a little more peppermint extract this year, we liked the stronger flavor.

These cookies were awesome! They are very easy and quick to make. This will definitely be on my list of cookies to make all year long. I used vanilla flavoring in one bath and it was also great. The frosting was perfect. I used red and green sugar with the peppermint and they defintely do melt in your mouth. Only problem is you can't eat just one!

I made these cookies 8 yrs ago. I lost the recipe when we moved to another house. I'm so glad I got it back. These cookies are wonderful. It's the first cookies my husband liked that wasn't a soft chewy cookie. I had to make another batch to give out because he ate them all. Thank you for still having this recipe.

My cookies came out perfect and we live at high altitude. Cooked for 12 min. instead of 10. I cheated and used Pillsbury frosting in a squirt can, still delicious. Fun for kids to make!

I've made peppermint cookies before and never had much luck really liking them. I love peppermint but just couldn't find a recipe that worked for me until this one... The entire family LOVED them... So easy and soooo good.
