For an extra burst of peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint oil to the dough along with the extract. If you don't have cream of tartar, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. These cookies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For a festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with additional crushed candy canes.
