Candy Cane Sugar Swirls - A Festive Treat for the Holidays
Looking for a sweet and festive treat to serve during the holidays? Look no further than Candy Cane Sugar Swirls! These delicious cookies are perfect for sharing with family and friends, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.

To make Candy Cane Sugar Swirls, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed candy canes, being careful not to overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Candy Cane Sugar Swirls are the perfect combination of sweet and festive. The crushed candy canes add a delicious crunch and a pop of color, while the buttery cookie base is perfectly tender and flavorful. Serve them with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa for the ultimate holiday treat.
