A Cookie for Christmas
“But I brought you a present. She laid the folded handkerchief in Faye’s lap. Open it carefully , she said.”
East of Eden, John Steinbeck
Inspiration
Candy Cane Cookies are a personal favorite. I try to make them every year. There is something about tinting the dough a rosy holiday red and smashing candy canes that signals the season to bake cookies has begun. The Candy Cane Cookies are buttery, with a soft crunch and just enough peppermint topping to evoke a traditional candy cane.
