5. Scoop the dough into portions using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, then break each portion in half and roll into balls.

6. Place dough balls on prepared sheet pans, leaving 2-inches of space between them. Use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough balls.

7. Bake until just set, 8-10 minutes, switching oven racks and rotating sheet pans halfway through baking. Let cool for 3 minutes on sheet pans, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

8. In a medium bowl whisk to combine powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract. Spread out crushed peppermint candies on a plate.

9. Roll edges of cooled cookies in the icing, then in the peppermint candies. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan and allow the icing to set.
