List of Ingredients

2 c Flour
1/4 c Packed brown sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Margarine
1/4 c Chopped nuts
1 Egg, beaten
1/2 c Milk
Powdered Sugar Icing:
2 c powdered sugar
2 to 3 tb milk



Recipe

Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.

Stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the nuts. Combine the egg and milk. Stir into the flour mixture until just moistened.

On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 10 x 7" rectangle. Cut crosswise into 1" wide strips. Twist each strip by holding both ends. Bend one end to form candy cane shape.

Place candy canes several inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake at 425 degrees F. for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove to a wire rack to cool.

Frost with the Powdered Sugar Icing.

Powdered Sugar Icing:
In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar and enough milk to make the icing easy to drizzle over the candy canes.
