MC, I’m not going to lie and say these aren’t alot of work. They ARE a lot of work. But it’s really just a matter of getting the hang of the rolling process. It requires a very light touch. You could just avoid all that and create two rolls about 2 1/2-inches in diameter, then slice 1/4-inch thick rounds from that. They won’t look like candy canes, but they will still taste great. BTW, our site Admin, MauiJim, ate more than a dozen of these cookies today.

Laura, yes, exactly. I make these every year and every year wish they actually tasted as good as they look. Now, they finally do! And then that last moment inspiration to pulverize candy canes into the powdered sugar finish. That takes them right over the top. I do hope hope you like them!

Ah, these are wonderful! It does sounds like a bit of work but looks totally worth it! I wish I could try one right now!
