Step 1: Grease a 24 slot mini muffin tin and preheat oven to whatever temperature the cookie recipe you are using suggests, in my case this was 325 F.
Step 2: Place a small roll of cookie dough into each muffin tin well and press gently with your fingers to form a cup; bake according to the instructions for your cookie dough, which for me was about 12 minutes.
Step 3: Let cookie cups cool in the pans briefly, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 4: Mix peppermint and food coloring into your vanilla frosting to create a light mint green color and minty taste, adding as much or as little as you prefer.
Step 5: Using a piping bag (or a filled zip-top baggie with one end snipped off), fill each cooled cookie with a swirl of frosting.
Step 6: Sprinkle each with some crushed peppermint candies to taste.
