1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy; add vanilla extract. Stir in flour; knead until well mixed.
Set aside 1/2 cup of dough; shape remaining dough into 1-inch balls. Make a deep well in the center of each ball with the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill with 1/4 teaspoon prepared Peppermint Filling.
Use reserved dough to cover filling by placing a small flat disc of dough over the hole. Reshape if necessary into smooth balls.

Remove from oven, immediately remove from baking sheet, and roll warm (not hot) cookies in the prepared Peppermint Topping mixture. Set on wire colling racks to cool completely.
