Candy Cane Blossoms

Around here, at our house, it's beginning to look  taste like Christmas ! These little tender, tasty cookies, are so festive, they make a wonderful addition to any Christmas cookie plate. And without a doubt, would even make a nice gift, for friends, neighbours, teachers, and the mailman. The kids helped out with these, unwrapping the candy cane kisses, and little hands love rolling the cookie dough in the sugar too. Really quick and easy, you should really try them, you won't regret it !

  2. These look so delicious and so does that mug w/candy canes! I almost made these cookies last year but I waited too long and then we had too many sweets. Maybe this year though!
