1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/4 cup corn starch

Frosting

Mix butter, sugar, crushed candy and vanilla -- gradually blending in flour and corn starch. Form 1-inch balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten. Bake at 300 for 25 to 30 minutes or until bottoms start to brown. Cool and remove to a wire rack. Combine confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla until frosting is smooth. Drizzle on cookies and sprinkle with crushed candy.
