Description
Crisp, buttery, and gorgeously swirled, these peppermint shortbread cookies are as festive as they are flavorful. A portion of the vanilla dough is flavored with peppermint oil for just the right amount of cool, minty flavor, then the two colors are twisted together in an eye-catching pattern. Don't worry: The assembly process is easier than it looks (especially with the help of a scale). Once assembled, the log can be stashed in the refrigerator or freezer, so you're only a few slices away from holiday cookies whenever you need them. This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for December 2025.
