I've only been to one and it was great fun! It was in PA about 4 hours from here. I live very near Rosie actually - about 45 minutes.

Re: 25 Days of Cookie Recipes

Another easy one to do with the kids (big OR little!).

One day left - are ya ready?

Candy Cane Cookies

Kids of all ages will want to pitch in when it comes time to roll the ropes of colored dough for these cute candy canes. Peppermint extract carries the flavor on through, so the cookies taste as good as they look.

36 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min.

Ingredients

1/2 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the cookie dough, flour and extract until

smooth. Divide dough in half; mix food coloring into one portion.

Shape 1 teaspoon of white dough into a 6-in. rope. Shape 1 teaspoon

of red dough into a 6-in. rope. Place ropes side by side; press

together lightly and twist.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet; curve top of cookie to form

handle of cane. Repeat with remaining dough, placing cookies 2 in.

apart on baking sheets.

Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes

before carefully removing to wire racks. Yield: 3 dozen.

Re: 25 Days of Cookie Recipes

These candy cane cookies look familar. I can remember my grandmother making those (along with many other kinds of C'mas cookies) but of course back then she made them from scratch...they didn't have the dough in tubes like now.

Re: 25 Days of Cookie Recipes

Jo my mom always made them from scratch too. Yummy!

Here we go folks - last one! Merry Christmas!

Reindeer Cookies

These cookies were easy to make using a boxed cookie mix. My son, Eric, enjoyed creating the faces with pretzels, chocolate chips and red-hots.—Gretchen Vandenberghe, Toledo, Ohio

15 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

1 package (17-1/2 ounces) peanut butter cookie mix

1/3 cup canola oil

1 egg

60 miniature pretzels

60 semisweet chocolate chips

30 red-hot candies

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the cookie mix, oil and egg until well

combined. Shape into a 7-1/2-in. roll; wrap in plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for 1 hour. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices.

Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using thumb and

forefinger, make a slight indentation one-third of the way down the

sides of each slice. Press in pretzels for antlers, chocolate chips

for eyes and a red-hot for the nose.

Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until light brown. Remove to

wire racks to cool. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: You may substitute any peanut butter cookie recipe for the cookie mix, oil and egg.

Re: 25 Days of Cookie Recipes

I could - I did them in the Recipe forum this year. I could just do different cookies. I have all of these links in a Word document so I wouldn't duplicate them.
