Here are some fun ideas that you can do with your family. I would love to see your creations. Please share them I would love to check them out.

Candy Cane Cookies

candy cane cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Red food coloring

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together the butter, shortening and both sugars. Beat in the milk, egg and extracts. Gradually add the flour and salt.
Divide the dough into two halves. Tint one half of the dough red with food coloring. Wrap both halves in plastic wrap and refrigerator for one hour.
Measure a heaping tablespoon of each color dough. Roll each color into a three inch rope. (Wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.) Gently press the ropes together and twist into the candy cane shape.
Place each cookie on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for five minutes and then rotate the baking sheet and bake for another five minutes. 
Cool for two minutes and transfer to a wire rack.

Rudolph Cookie Recipe



Prepare your favorite recipe or purchase a package of your favorite cookie dough.
I found several ideas for these cookies. I have blended the best of each to share.


Some Great Decorating Choices Are:
M&M’s regular and/or mini, Red Hots, Skittles, Chocolate Sprinkles, Chocolate Chips, Gum Balls, Regular or chocolate-covered pretzels, a small tube of white or brown icing

Shape the cookie dough into small "misshapened" balls and bake according to directions. While cookies are still warm, press on the pretzels to make Rudolph’s antlers. Use a drop of icing to attach the nose. Use more icing to attach the eyes. Serve when cookies are cool.
Here's a good cookie recipe to use.
Rudolph Cookies

3/4 cup smooth peanut butter

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
