Baking cookies is one of my favorite holiday traditions! Blasting holiday music while singing into your spatula??? Yes please! We typically make gingerbread or sugar cookies but this year, I wanted to create something a little different. SOOOOO I decided to create this candy cane sugar cookie recipe that’s absolutely delicious and brings a pop of flavor with the candy cane pieces. This is also a great gift to give in one of those holiday tins to coworkers, friends, or family.
