    List of Ingredients




    Candy cane cookies


    1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
    1 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup finely crushed candy canes
    3 tablespoons granulated sugar

    Recipe




    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

    2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and the peppermint and vanilla extracts; beat until well blended.

    3. Gradually add the flour and salt; mix until thoroughly blended. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

    4. In a small bowl, combine the crushed candy canes and the granulated sugar. Shape the chilled cookie dough into 1-1/2-inch balls then roll each in the candy cane mixture, coating completely. Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.

    5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Immediately remove to wire racks to cool completely.

    Makes about 3 dozen
