Cookies

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in peppermint. Combine flour and cornstarch, gradually add to mixture. Place in 1-inch balls 2-in apart on ungreased baking sheet bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. remove to wire racks to cool.

**Make sure they're golden brown, let them cool a little before taking them off the cookie sheet, they are really crumbly and really meltaway LOL

Frosting:

Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add powder sugar, milk and peppermint, beat until smooth. Spread over cooled cookies. Sprinkle with crushed candies. Store in an airtight container.

**I used the soft individually wrapped peppermint candies because they're a little sweeter and they turn out delicious! PS Don't use heavy cream in place of the milk if you're out... It doesn't work as well.
