Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Reminds me...I need to make these this year. My new favorite cookie
Candy Cane Crisps
from Sunset Cookbook Classics
Makes about 4 dozen
1 cup (1/2 pound) butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coarsely crushed candy canes
In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 cup of the sugar until creamy; beat in vanilla.
In another bowl, stir together flour, oats, and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly. Add 1/4 cup of the crushed candy canes and mix until well combined.
Roll dough into 1/3-inch balls, then roll in remaining powdered sugar (about 1/4 cup) to coat. Place balls about 2 inches apart on greased and flour-dusted baking sheets. Flatten cookies with a fork, making a crisscrosss pattern with fork tines. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon crushed candy canes.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Let cool on a baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to racks and let cool completely.
Store airtight.
