Ingredients

175 g plain flour plus extra for dusting (optional)
100 g cold butter cubed
50 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk
vegetable oil for the parchment
30 glacier mints or other clear mint-flavoured boiled sweets
200 g royal icing sugar
6 tbsp sprinkles

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and lightly oil parchment on two baking sheets.
Mix the flour, cold butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk until a dough forms, then chill it for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface, cut out cookies, and place them on the prepared sheets.
Cut or press a small center opening in each cookie, add crushed glacier mints, and bake for 12 minutes.
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a rack.
Mix the royal icing sugar with enough water to make a thick icing, spread it over the cookies, and add sprinkles.
