Candy Cane Drop Cookies image

One of our family's favorites, this recipe came about by combining my love of peppermint candy canes and sugar cookies. We drizzle melted white chocolate over the cookies and sprinkling them with coarsely-crushed candy canes for a Christmastime look.-Meg Bagley, Logan, Utah
