Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar white
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup candy cane crushed
Instructions
- Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 degrees.
- Cream together your butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
- Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt.
- When that is done, mix in the crushed candy cane.
- Prepare parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
- Roll a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball, 8 per cookie sheet.
- Take a glass and using the bottom, flatten out each cookie. If the cookie sticks, start wetting the bottom of the glass with water, they will come right off. Flatten each of them as much as you can. This is a dry dough -no sticky chewiness going on here- but it's just wet enough to make perfect little flat cookie patties.
- Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool on the sheets completely.
