Candy cane cookies feature twisted ropes of red and white peppermint-flavoured dough shaped into the classic candy cane curves. They add a pop of colour to a dessert table laden with chocolate cookies and brownies. And they're perfect for hanging on Christmas trees (with a hole poked before baking), serving at parties, gifting, or leaving out for Santa.
