  • Summary

    The peppermints can be crushed in a food processor or placed in a plastic bag, covered with a kitchen towel, and smashed using the flat side of a mallet or a skillet. They will melt when baked within the star cutouts, which vary in sizes. Look for shapes that have a smaller (about 1 inch) counterpart to use for removing the interior space.

    Ingredients

    • 20 round hard peppermint candies
    • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
    • 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
    • Salt
    • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
