The Easiest Candy Cane Cookies Ever! Simple Christmas Cookies via www.thebearfootbaker.com

Do you remember when we made American Flag Cookies for July 4th? As I was making the flag I noticed something. I noticed that the red and white along with the wave of the Flag Cookie Cutter’s simple design would make a great platter of candy cane cookies. I love being able to customize the number of cookies to the number of guests without staying up for days trying to design a platter with 10 different designs.
