Candy Cane Cookies

Candy Cane Cookies

I wanted to invent a christmas themed cookie, I thought, and thought, AND thought! Then it hit me… Candy cane cookies! But not the kind that are shaped like candy canes, but a kind of cookie that actually TASTES like candy canes.

The Candy cane cookies turned out tasting just like candy canes! But they bake like sugar cookies. The cookies are chewy and minty, literally all you taste is the peppermint. There are some crunchy places from the candy cane chunks, but the small chunks melt in the oven. 

You can find crushed candy canes at some stores, but not all. I put candy canes in a bag and used a rolling pin to crush them, but not all candy canes work that way. You might have to put some in a blender to crush ‘em, but you have to blend them for less than 7 seconds, you do NOT want them to turn to dust.

I hope you will try and love these cookies, have fun!

Simple Cinnamon Cookies

These cookies are kinda cake-like and chewy, they’re not quite brown, but they’re not too light.

These cinnamon cookies ended up being SO delicious! I invented the recipe myself, it was only a ten minute prep time, and a ten minute bake time, that’s only twenty minutes! The recipe made about twenty-four cookies.

When I was getting the ingredients ready, I realized I didn’t have enough butter! We only had 2 tablespoons of butter left! And we needed 1\2 cup! { 1 stick } So I looked up what was a substitute for butter, and guess what! Applesauce was able to be used as a substitute! You could kinda taste the apple in the end, but it was REALLY good! It kinda tasted like cinnamon apple cookies!

I was REALLY happy with how they turned out, they are SO good, I hope you will try this recipe, I’m sure you will be happy with what you turn up with too!

My family LOVES these cookies! As a bonus, when you take the cookies out of the oven, they make a sweet cinnamon smell travel through the house, you can really tell that someone baked cookies!
