Yesterday one of my co-workers received some very yummy-looking peppermint chocolate cookies from her Secret Santa. Since we are having a cookie swap tomorrow, I felt that I MUST make some kind of cookie with crushed candy canes in them. I had a recipe pinned on Pinterest already, and tried it out tonight. It's just wonderful!
Soooo...not only do you get this delish recipe, but you also get a printable sheet of recipe cards for your own cookie swap. How sweet is that? You can nab the PDF here:

Without further ado, here is the recipe...I hope you enjoy!
Candy Cane Crinkles
3 candy canes, crushed
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets lined with foil or parchment paper lightly with cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla and egg; scrape sides and mix again. Combine all dry ingredients (except powdered sugar) and slowly mix into butter mixture until just combined. Scrape sides and mix again, and stir in crushed candy canes.
Pour powdered sugar on a plate. Roll dough into 1” balls, and then roll in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough. Bake 9-11 minutes or until bottoms are barely brown and cookies are matte (not melty or shiny). Cool on cookie sheets for about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
The original recipe came from www.laurenslatest.com. I changed it just a bit by adding an extra candy cane, and rolling the dough balls to 1" size.
My pictures of the cookies did not turn out great; I borrowed the one above from the fivefoldministryschool blog.
