A family favorite cookie teamed Dads and Kids as holiday bakers

About the Recipe:  Christmas Candy Cane Cookies are delicate swirled red and white cookies shaped like canes and lightly sprinkled with sparkling red sugar. They are lightly mint flavored and have a crisp sugared texture. No matter how they turned out, they were beautiful and brought holiday smiles.

Heartwarming Story about the Recipe: The children in our family usually helped Grandma or Mom bake holiday cookies. One Christmas Eve, we decided to leave Grandma’s kitchen to the Dads and Kids and let them work out how to bake the candy cane and  sugar sprinkled spritz cookies. After leaving the supplies and recipes, the women went out for a holiday lunch, hoping for the best. When we returned, the canes were twisted and sprinkles were left to be eaten for days, but all of them loved working together. This tradition continued, even after the kids graduated and moved to their own homes. It became a cherished tradition for them.  Now every holiday, all of them return to Grandma’s kitchen and bake those delicious, perfectly made candy cane and sugar sprinkled spritz cookies. We never expected that those little cookies would bring so much holiday happiness to our family.

Bake Cookies: Bake cookies in preheated 375-degree F. oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until delicate brown on edges. Do not overbake.

Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen cookies
