For a more intense peppermint flavor, add ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract to the dough. If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Feel free to experiment with different types of candy canes or add other festive sprinkles to the icing.
