My mom cut this recipe out of a Chicago Area newspaper about 30 years ago and they have been part of our Christmas cookies ever since. Great way to use all those broken candy canes!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.
