Peppermint Meltaways

Preheat oven to 175C. Line cookie trays with baking paper.

Cream butter and sugar and peppermint extract until light and fluffy. Add plain flour and corn flour and mix to a smooth dough.

Shape into balls and place on prepared trays, flatten slightly with a floured fork or spoon.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

To make the filling, beat butter until fluffy. Add sugar, peppermint extract and food colour gel and beat until smooth. Add milk and beat again until light and fluffy. Sandwich between cooled cookies. Store in an airtight container.
