Time 30m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup candy cane, crushed
12 -15 drops red food coloring
icing sugar, for rolling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F
  • In large bowl, with mixer on high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in vanilla and salt. Reduce mixer speed to low, and beat in flour (dough will be very dry). Beat in oats, crushed candy canes, and 12-15 drops of red food coloring. Shape heaping teaspoons of dough into balls, place on ungreased baking sheets 1/2 inch apart, and bake 15 to 18 minutes per batch.
  • Place icing sugar in large bowl. Roll hot cookies in sugar, let cool completely, and repeat.
