Ingredients

Servings
  • shortbread
  • 2 cups butter room temp, unsalted
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar sifted
  • 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • cup cornstarch
  • 1 ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • peppermint buttercream
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons butter room temp
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 red food coloring drops
  • candy cane topping
  • 10 ounces white baking chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.  Line a 9x13-in. pan with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the peppermint and mix.  Combine the flour and cornstarch and gradually add to the butter until well combined.
  3. Press shortbread evenly in the pan, then pierce a few times with a fork. Place in the oven and bake until lightly browned, about 40-45 minutes. Cut while warm.  Cool completely before icing.
