My DH calls these cookies "Triple Threats" a buttery cookie filled with a mellow mint cream and rolled in crunchy crushed peppermint candy! So GOOD!!!!!

42 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup softened butter (no substitutes please)
1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 teaspoon milk
1/2 cup crushed candy cane, divided

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Cookie Dough:.
3
Using an electric mixer, cream butter with 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Gradually add flour and pecans; mix well. Chill dough.
4
Meanwhile, prepare filling: Blend cream cheese and milk until smooth; gradually add 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons crushed candy cane.
5
Form rounded teaspoonfuls of chilled cookie dough into balls. Make an indentation in the top of each ball; fill with 1/4 teaspoon peppermint filling. Press dough together to seal top and enclose filling. Arrange cookies on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set but NOT brown.

Meanwhile, mix remaining candy and remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a small dish. Roll warm cookies in candy and sugar mixture. Cool, then roll cookies in candy mixture again.
