Yesterday we made cookies for a Christmas cookie/ ornament exchange party that our friends were having.
Cream butter and sugar until light & fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time...beat well.
Sift dry ingredients to mixture in two batches alternating with milk.
Stir in crushed candy canes.
Spoon onto greased cookie sheet.
The batter seemed really doughy... you may have to use a heavy duty mixer for this since I ended up burning out my little hand mixer.
I baked mine for about 7-8 minutes...ovens may vary. I took them out when they started to look golden. If you bake too long they burn on the bottom and come out hard !! So, keep your eye's on them !! This recipe makes about 5 dozen.
The best part in making these cookies was taking a hammer to all the candy canes crushing them to pieces. Even Mr. Darling and Vince joined in the fun .... just like a little boys.
