Candy Cane Cookies
about 4 dozen 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 c. finely crushed candy canes
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Preheat the oven to 375F. In a large bowl, with an electric beater on
medium speed, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and
fluffy.
Add the egg and the peppermint and vanilla extracts and beat until well
blended. Gradually add the flour and salt; mix well. Cover the bowl
tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Coat two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed candy canes and the granulated
sugar; mix well.
** Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls then roll each ball in the
candy cane mixture; place on the baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12
minutes, or until browned. Immediately remove from the baking sheets and
place on wire racks to cool.
Note: **These can also just be mixed together, and rolled into a log.
Slice & bake.
