Ingredients
- 1 sugar cookie dough recipe
- 4 T AP Flour
Filling
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 can of condensed sweetened milk
- 1/2 t peppermint extract
- 1/2 c crushed peppermint candies
White Chocolate Ganache
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 6 ounces of white chocolate, chopped
Preparation
Follow instructions for making my sugar cookie recipe adding in an extra 4 TBSP of flour to the dry ingredients. Press mixture evenly onto the bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake in preheated oven at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
For filling, in a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and peppermint extract. Stir in crushed candies. Carefully pour filling over hot crust. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is set. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover; chill for 30 minutes or until cool. In a medium saucepan, bring whipping cream just to boiling over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate (do not stir) and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Cool about 5 minutes before pouring over bars.
Pour White Chocolate Ganache over top of baked mixture, spreading evenly. Cover and chill 1 hour or until firm. Using the edges of the foil, lift cookies out of pan. Cut into bars.
