candy cane cookies

candy cane cookies

i’m making cookies this saturday and the week leading up to it. one of the faves that i make are candy cane cookies:

sadly, the past few years, the cookies have just not been the same because my fam ran out of oil of cinnamon and no one can seem to find it anywhere. we tried peppermint extract, crushing up candy canes, etc. etc. just not the same.
lo and behold, on my block lives a watkins person. that’s where we got the oil of cinnamon the last time we actually found it.
sadly, the watkins people no longer carry oil of cinnamon
BUT
they carry cinnamon extract, which smells an awful lot like oil of cinnamon!! i bought a bottle. 🙂 candy cane cookies are back!!
