Here is my version of the recipe in all its melty, crunchy, chewy, candy cane minty goodness. Bet you can't eat just one.
1-1/2 sticks (6 ounces) of unsalted butter, room temperature
I cup powdered sugar (measure, then sift)
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups of sifted flour (measure, then sift)
1 cup uncooked quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes (crush, then measure)
Extra powdered sugar for rolling dough balls in before baking
Cream the butter. Add the powdered sugar and cream some more. Add the vanilla and the salt and cream a little more. Sift the flour into mixture and mix until flour is all absorbed. Fold in the quick cooking oats and the crushed candy canes.
Form into small balls, about the size of a quarter, roll in the powdered sugar, place on an ungreased baking sheet, and flatten slightly.
Bake at 375 degrees for 14-15 minutes (everyone's oven is different, so keep an eye on them to see the timing for your oven, as they can brown quickly).
Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then place them on cooling racks to finish cooling.
Makes about 4 dozen small cookies.
