The Twelve Days of Holiday Treats!
Once again, this year, from December 1-12th I’ll post a new holiday treat recipe every day – inspiration for your holiday entertaining!
The recipes I’m sharing are small batch (perfect for this year of smaller gatherings – each recipe makes 1-dozen or a few more smaller-sized treats) that are simple to prepare and that use everyday ingredients and equipment so hopefully you’ll be able to whip up any of these on a whim.
Today’s treat is a simple sugar cookie – fancied up with some crushed candy cane and a quick “royal” icing and, of course, SPRINKLES! This is a great recipe to make a small batch of cookies and the best thing is that they don’t require any rest time in the fridge – you can make the dough, roll and cut it and just chill the cookies quickly in the freezer while your oven comes to temperature!
Simple sugar cookies with crushed candy cane baked through, topped with a simple "royal" icing. Cookies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days. Make sure to layer parchment paper in between the cookie layers so they don't stick together. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.
