York Mint Sugar Cookies
York Peppermint Patties add a bit of added flavor to these sugar cookies.
Did you know you can use a sugar cookie batter to make over 50 different cookies?
Just add your own decorating touch or a bit of food coloring and watch your assortment grow!
I had a bag of York Mints that were not yet open.
As I snuck grabbed them to use in a recipe late night snack, I remembered there was still a batch or two of sugar cookie dough in my refrigeratoe.
Usually when that happens I freeze the dough.
But my cookie giving tins were already full so the dough was still there as I made sure I hadn’t missed a tin or two.
Miss J and I had already made 17 dozen cookies for her school fair. You can see those in my story A Baker’s Tale.
It was in that moment I realized the York Mints would be delicious in a sugar cookie.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, room temperature
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.33 cups (1 and 1/3 cups) all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 24 unwrapped York mint candies, or chocolate covered mint
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- In large mixing bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla, just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt.
- Slow beat into the butter and sugar mixture until fully combined.
- Let chill for 1 hour or up to 48 hours.
- Place rack in the center of oven and preheat 400 degrees F.
- For each cookie, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake 9 to 10 minutes, until light brown (cookies will appear underdone).
- Let cool on baking sheet for 1 minute, then remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- Unwrap mints and lightly push into the center of the warm cookie until the cookie cuddles the mint.
- When cookies starting to become firm, remove cookie from rack. Add them to a plate or platter until you are ready to plate them.
That would mix my two favorite ingredients and I would have the best mash up of the year!
I really like the way they turned out.
Feel free to add any other decorations to your cookies..
The creamy mint center added a bit of texture as well as a lot of flavor to the sugar cookie.
My family enjoyed this treat as mich as I did.
There were no sticky fingers or crumbs in sight.
Of course 15 minutes later there were no cookies either!
I am glad I had a tin with the extra batch for later to dunk in milk.
These York Mint Sugar Cookies are a certain “add to my cookie list” for making again!
They travel in the tins well and were eagerly consumed at the Christmas party we attended.
I hope you enjoy them too!
Let me know how these cookies turned out for you.
Don’t forget to provide pictures!
Enjoy!
