13 Dec Cookie Friday: Candy Canes
These are an oldie from the recipe box!
I don’t like to play favorites when it comes to Holiday cookies, but… these are my favorite.
As a bonus, they don’t require eggs which is great with the chicken’s molting like there is no tomorrow. They are fun to make too as the dough whips up quick, you shape them into “J’s” and get to add the signature red and white glaze when they cool.
These are the cookies from the old family recipe box that I have always been assigned to bring to Christmas, which is great because I can double the batch and keep some just for me.
