Recipe: Candy Cane Cookies

Day 8!! Candy Cane Cookies. First, you need to like candy canes in order to enjoy these cookies. My husband, not a fan…and to him, they taste like medicine, which is yucky.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of flour
• 1 teaspoon of backing soda
• 2 teaspoons of corn startch
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar and white sugar
• 1 cup of butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla
• 1/2 cup crushed candy cane

First – cream the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients slowly and ensure they are properly mixed. Then, stir in the crushed candy canes.

In this recipe, when I first tried it out, I added about 1 1/2 cups of candy cane – way, way too much! If you want just a hit of the flavour, add in 1/4 of a cup. All of the candy canes started to melt into the cookie while in the oven causing my cookies to get very flat and then almost glazed over on the top. They still tasted great, but they didn’t look so appetizing. Stick to the 1/2 cup – 1/4 cup of crushed candy cane and you’ll be good.

Bake at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes. Then let cool for a bit and you’re good to eat.

Take to your holiday party or leave out for Santa…he’s only got 3 more weeks!!

Hope you’re staying warm…where I live, it’s -25 outside right now! Cookies keep me warm…eat up.
