When I made the red peppermint it needs a full teaspoon and about another 1/4 cup of flour to compensate for the food coloring mine was extremly sticky

I made these yesterday (and baked today). The dough was very dry after I had used the mixer. I actually broke my mixer) and I had to finish with hand kneeded which seemed to soften up the dough so it was not so dry as others had complained about. I was making a HUGE batch for a cookie exchange. If you have any problems with the dough try hand kneeding it or putting it in the refrigerator if it sticks to your wax paper. Worked well for me. I wouldmake these again next year :)

Yummy minty butter cookies! They look so pretty on the tray. They aren't super sweet so a nice change from all the rich cookies during the holidays.

I have made this recipe exactly as written for the past 5 years for my Christmas cookie platters. They are a family favorite and are always requested. The dough does get a little crumbly sometimes, but when it warms up, it gets easier to work with. I roll mine out on sheets of wax paper and use a pizza cutter to cut it to the right size. Using the wax paper helps to transfer the red dough onto the white, it also helps to make it easier to roll the dough into a spiral. The ease of slicing and baking the cookies makes up for the time it takes to roll it all out.

These cookies look great and it is a great idea but all you can taste is baking powder.. I would use a different sugar cookie recipe and same concept..!

These cookies are very pretty and freeze well for cookie trays which fits my busy holiday season well. The taste is very much like a simple shortbread cookie with just a hint of peppermint. On their own they wouldn't be my first choice for a cookie (think something much more decadent) but they are a nice sweet simple taste that are a litte departure from all the other super rich treats during the holiday season.
