The buttery and crisp cookies are rolled in crushed candy canes before baking, giving them a delicious peppermint flavor and a beautiful red and white appearance.

Ingredients
For the candy canes:
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Red food coloring
For the decoration:
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Instructions
To start, prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set it aside. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, cream of tartar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Next, bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking until it reaches a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Be careful, as the mixture will be extremely hot. If desired, you can add a few drops of red food coloring to give your candy canes a festive touch.
Now, it's time to shape your candy canes. Using a spoon, carefully pour small drops of the hot candy mixture onto the parchment paper, forming a candy cane shape. You can use a butter knife to help shape the candy into a smooth curve. Let the candy canes cool for a few minutes until they are firm but still pliable.
In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and cornstarch. Dust the candy canes with this mixture to prevent them from sticking to each other. Using your hands, gently twist the two ends of the candy cane together to create the classic candy cane shape. Let the candy canes cool completely before enjoying or wrapping them up as gifts.
Final Thoughts
This homemade Christmas candy canes recipe is a fun and unique way to add a personal touch to your holiday celebrations.
