Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and flour until dough forms. Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass.
2. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
3. In small bowl, mix frosting and peppermint extract. Spread each cookie with frosting. Using small spoon, sprinkle red sugar onto cookies in spiral design to look like peppermint candies.

Along with an assortment of delicious holiday cookie recipes, Bake Sweet Memories offers How To Videos and Cookie Exchange Party Tips. You can also play the new Sweet Memories game for a chance to instantly win free Betty Crocker products.  Here are a couple of tips from the site:

Make Holiday Cookies and Tags:  Everyone should bake enough so that each participant gets one dozen of each kind of cookie.  Attach cookie tags to each tray for easy identification.

Wrap and Decorate Cookie Trays:  Plastic or metal holiday trays can be wrapped with red or green plastic wrap and adorned with a colorful ribbon.  Alternately, you can store and transport cookies in GladWare’s Glad Food Storage containers. These super sturdy containers have Interlocking Lids for easy, compact stacking.  They also have a tight seal to lock in freshness and can be used in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher.
