If you’re planning your Christmas baking lineup or juggling a couple of cookie exchanges, these Candy Cane Cookies belong at the top of your list. They bake up soft, minty, and downright adorable, and people go wild for that powdered sugar sparkle. Plus, the dough is easy, the peppermint flavor hits just right, and they stand out on any cookie tray. They are one of our favorites!
Ingredient Notes + Variations
A handful of pantry staples come together to make a soft cookie base with a festive peppermint twist. The dough stays light and tender, thanks to a simple mix of butter, sugar, and just enough crushed candy canes for crunch and color. Here are a couple things to note:
- Powdered sugar coats the dough and creates a soft, crackly exterior.
- Crushed candy canes add color, texture, and that classic holiday flavor. Crush them yourself using a rolling pin or mallet or buy a bag of pre-crushed candy canes.
How to Make Candy Cane Cookies
These cookies come together easily. You mix the dough, roll it in powdered sugar, bake until set, and let them cool. For full recipe details, including ingredients and measurements needed, see the printable recipe card down below.
Step 1: Preheat Oven + Prep Pan
Get your oven to 350° F and line baking sheets with parchment or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Crush the Candy Canes
Place them in a bag and give them a few good taps with a rolling pin.
Step 3: Make the Dough
Cream the butter and sugar, add the vanilla extract and egg, then blend in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the crushed candy canes.
Step 4: Roll in Powdered Sugar
Shape the dough into balls, coat in powdered sugar and place on prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms begins to BARELY golden brown. This is the key to their chewiness. For best results, you want the outside of the cookie to look matte (not shiny) when you pull them out. Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Pro Tip: I use lighter colored baking sheets, so the bake time is based on that. If using a nonstick darker baking sheet, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overbake, the tops should look matte and set.
- Use light colored baking sheets to keep the bottoms pale.
- Keep dough balls uniform in size for even baking.
- Let cookies rest a few minutes before moving them.
I LOVED how these Christmas Candy Cane Cookies turned out and hope they make it to your mouth soon. These are great to add to Christmas cookie platters, cookie exchanges or to leave out on Christmas Eve for Santa! Whatever your holiday tradition is, I hope you make these this holiday season! The printable recipe card is below! Have a great day, friends!

FAQ About Candy Cane Cookies
Why aren’t my cookies spreading?
A lot of you have mentioned to me that these cookies don’t spread. This problem happens because there is too much flour in your cookie dough!
Fluff up your flour, spoon it into your measuring cup and then level the top. That is the correct way to measure flour and how I measured it for this recipe. So be careful when measuring and you’ll have perfect Candy Cane Cookies.
Why did my cookies spread so much?
A common problem when making these cookies is that they flatten out way too much! Why?
Butter.
This recipe calls for softened butter, not melted butter. The best way to get softened butter is to plan ahead. A couple of hours before you make these cookies set 1/2 cup of butter on the counter. As it sits there is will soften.
But if you are in a pinch you can microwave butter to soften it instead. Microwave in 5-second intervals rotating your cube of butter each time. Please please please use caution when softening this way. It can easily go from solid to melted in seconds! And in turn, your cookies will spread way too much.
Why is my dough so sticky?
If you already used melted butter instead of softened butter, and your candy cane cookie dough is sticky don’t worry! You have two options to fix this.
Pop your dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to solidify the dough a bit.
OR
Add in small amounts of flour until your cookie dough comes together better. Definitely use my photo of the cookie dough above to base your cookie dough off of.

Easy and really good! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great. It took 12 minutes in my oven but I didn’t adjust for my high elevation.
“Why aren’t my cookies spreading?
A lot of you have mentioned to me that these cookies don’t spread. This problem happens because there is too much flour in your cookie dough! “
It would probably help if the conversion to metric was correct-currently it is doubled.
IMO, I think the dough should be chilled first. I followed the directions to a T and my cookies spread too much. They also require much more candy cane than a 1/4 cup again IMO.
I weighed my flour for 180 grams to be 1 1/2 cups but I think another 1/8 to a 1/4 cup more would have helped. My husband liked it but thought it was a simple cracked sugar cookie that his grandma used to make. Oh well, good not great for a first try.
The metric amount for flour for 24 cookies is doubled. 1.5 cups of flour is only about 180-200 grams of flour.
Sadly I realized this too late but I had enough ingredients to double the batch.
I wish I saw this comment- I made the same mistake. Bummed that the author hasn’t corrected this since you posted last year.
I put a bag of toffee bits into my shortbread dough.
It’s FANTASTIC!!! People are crazy for these cookies.
I tripled this recipe because they’re going to be part of some Christmas cookie packages for my husband’s coworkers. Because of the larger quantity and the high cost of butter right now, I did use Blue Bonnet sticks (not usually part of my baking process—butter is better), and the cookies required extra baking time as a result. I added peppermint extract and white chocolate chips, and these cookies are chewy, minty perfection! Thanks so much for a simply sweet recipe!
It is a great way to use up all the extra candy canes I have each year from my classroom gingerbread house making. The tips at the top were great. I always wondered why my cookies spread out too much. Never thought I would like a peppermint tasting cookie but these are awesome.
Trying to post a picture but can’t see where to do that.
[…] Candy Cane Cookies […]
The cookies were really fun to make, plus crushing the peppermints is kinda theatric, this recipe was very fun, plus my family said it taxed amazing, but question it. I didn’t excitedly have baking powder. So I decided to use a mix of cream of tartar, baking soda, and cornstarch, but their cookies ended up flat.
Not sure if it was something I did or what! Cooked for 9 minutes, really raw. At 11 minutes still uncooked. Baked for 13 barely cooked, 14 cooked but once cooled they were really really hard!!
Most easy but very yummy Christmas cookie recipe! A great new Christmas treat to add to our lead up to Christmas ?
I absolutely loved the Candy Cane cookies!!! They are delicious!!!!
They are going to be one of my Christmas baking all the time!!!
The only change I did was omitted the baking soda – don’t like the taste instead I did 1 tsp baking powder
SOOOO good! Just the right amount of candy cane. Delicious!
Metric conversion is way off. 1 1/2 cups of flour is 190 grams not 354.88grams.
Great recipe when using not using metric measurements.
Great recipe. I used crushed cinnamon hard candies. Did not roll in powdered sugar. I refrigerated dough. Cookies spread a great deal. Great flavor and crispy
[…] Original Recipe […]
A little disappointed! I tried these three times in preparation for Christmas baking and they never turned out right. They were super greasy and chewy but tough, and the crinkle effect was not consistent. 🙁
it sounds like there wasn’t enough butter in your batter if they came out too greasy. And perhaps you mixed the batter too much to have tough cookies? Over-mixing the flour creates gluten and would give you a tough cookie.
Thanks Lauren! I did end up serving them to my sisters at christmas and they did enjoy them so maybe i am the odd one out! I also froze the batter, so that likely impacted the texture. I will try them again. Sorry I was so harsh initially! Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Hi! Delicious cookies but a bit dry and not like your photograph. For clarification -in your instructions “1-½ cup all purpose flour” – does this mean 1 AND a half cups or 1 cup plus more (up to 1/1 a cup) if needed? Thanks! Merry Christmas!
yes, 1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour.
What do you mean by “your ex’s mom?”
Turned flat. Threw them away.
So do i add vanilla extract with peppermint extract and how much do you recommend to use. Oh and btw i love this recipe 10/10 my son is 22 and just makes batches after batches and wants to become a pastry chef also?
[…] See original recipe here: http://www.laurenslatest.com/candy-cane-crinkles/ […]
These cookies are wonderful ❣️
YUM 10/10 merry merry good.
I’ve made these three times so far this holiday season. They seem hard to screw up and GREAT to make with kids – a winning combination. One time I mixed the crushed candy canes with my dry ingredients and the other two times I didn’t — good results no matter what. My almost 3-year-old loves to stand on a chair and dump in ingredients and then “supervise” the mixer. The powdered sugar rolling is by far his favorite. The results is a cookie that isn’t overly sweet and is surprisingly addictive. I’ve also tried using m&m’s as a mix-in (instead of candy canes) with good results. Looking forward to trying the original lemon version as well!
Edit to add: I see some comments from other bakers about hard cookies – I bake mine for 9 minutes – 10 at most and then take them out to cool. Even though they may seem like they’re not done at that point, after cooling they will be and they stay soft. Mine are also not as flat as the photos on the website but maybe they would be if I mushed the balls of dough before baking?
My cookies did not come out with the top as flat as yours. Did you use something to make them like that? Also how long can I store them?
I actually tried this recipe and it didn’t work out the best for me. Mine turned out kinda hard and doughy. Not sure what went wroy. Maybe I should have used 3/4 cup of sugar instead of 1 cup, or maybe a little less flour. I also shouldn’t have used peppermint extract, tasted like toothpaste. When the crushed candy canes cool the cookies get very hard. I probably won’t make this again.
The dough tastes spectacular and I probably should have just served that up. After 10 minutes baking the first batch, my cookies had not flattened, so I’m guessing I had too much flour – though I measured carefully. I let the cookies bake between 10 – 13 minutes because they didn’t look baked through – but it was hard to tell. They ended up a little dryer than I like – but I’m sure it’s because my flour/butter ratio was off. The cookies ended up being quite round – which meant a longer baking time. They still taste good however, and next time I’d try less flour.
Making these for the second time this week! The first time, I brought them in to work for Christmas Cookie Contest. I won second place! So delicious! The second time I used green and red candy canes and it added a greater festive touch! Great recipe and so simple and easy on the budget!
Im a young baker who isn’t that experienced, but these cookies were easy to make and SUPER delicious! Definitely making these again for my family!!???
I made these and the dough turned out super crumbly and dry. I double and triple checked the ingredients to see if I’d missed something or done something wrong. All the ingredients were correct.
Is my flour particularly dry or is it supposed to be this way?
If I compact them into balls, they’ll stay formed, but I skipped rolling them in powdered sugar because I don’t want to add to the dryness. We’ll see what happens when I bake them.
They turned out okay despite the dry dough. They just didn’t flatten out much…kind of lump cookies instead of crinkle cookies ? I’ll try another batch.
sounds like you added too much flour! How do you measure your flour?
Mine were super dry too. It seems like less sugar and flour are needed in this recipe.
Just made these, and wowza they are GOOD! I left the first batch in a little too long, so they were really crispy but still delicious. Got the timing perfect on the second batch and I can’t stop eating them, which may become problematic… Thanks Lauren for a great recipe. I’m not even crazy about candy canes but these are an instant favorite!
Curious if you think this dough would work as a slice and bake?
You’d have to refrigerate the dough in a log to slice it, but I think it should be fine!

Hi – My mom received a lovely floral arrangement from my aunt for Christmas. There were six candy canes included. I found your recipe but I’m not sure how much candy cane to add. Since candy canes and the round hard peppermint candies come in different sizes I’m not sure the amount of candy to add. Can you please share approximately how much crushed candy I should use? Should I add a tablespoon plus or minus? Thanks
Omgosh, these cookies are THE BEST!!! I did add a little peppermint extract too. These are super easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing!
I have a bag of crushed candy canes I bought from target. How much should I measure out that would be equivalent to 3 candy canes?
Try 1/4 cup or so. Not too much 🙂

These wonderful cookies have become a Christmas tradition in my home. They’re my go-to gift cookie and I bake them every year. I’m even doing a Whole30 this month and can’t have them, but I’m still baking several batches. Thanks so much for this easy and awesome recipe!
So excited to make/try these this year!
Making these with my kids tonight!
Hello! Fast forward to 2016…if i am using already crushed candy canes, how much should I put into the recipe?
Thanks!
You should probably start the dry ingredients sentence with “excluding the powdered sugar” – not tag it on after “pour into mixer and mix slowly” – otherwise someone (!) will waste a lot of ingredients following the recipe step by step…
[…] Adapted from: Lauren’s Latest […]
Oh my gosh those look so good, I hope me and my mom can make them together, by the way your daughter is soooo cute! Okay, thank’s
I purchased crushed peppermint candy (yes it comes in a bag much like chocolate chips). How much would you guess 3 crushed candy canes measures–1/3 cup?
I have purchased crushed peppermint candy (yes, it comes in a bag much like chocolate chips). Can you tell me approximately how much (in a measurement) 3 candy canes crushed equals? Guessing 1/3 cup roughly?
I think the butter is why they spread. It seems like all the cookies I make with butter have been spreading alot. Perhaps more flour is the answer. Good luck!
These are very good cookies. I made them today and the neighbor kids liked them. They did spread however. I suppose its cause of the butter? All in all they were good.
Very good and favorable. Mine seem to spread a little too much. Maybe cause of the butter. Any suggestions?
How do you measure your flour? That seems to be the one thing that is different when making these cookies. I think you would need 1-2 tablespoons more flour to keep them from spreading as much.
This is by far the best way to use up old candy canes, I made these for my wife and they were great. But recipe is overly complex. I just threw everything into a bowl in alphabetical order and scooped it out onto a tray and it worked fine.
I just made these cookies. I’m not a baker at all and they came out wonderfully! I’m bringing them to a friend’s house tonight. haha, I love your story too!
Loved these cookies! Brought them to our Christmas Bazaar today and was asked for the recipe four times!
Awesome!!
Lauren,
Loved the story
I made these today – well tonight at 11pm cuz if I didn’t now well the last three candy canes I had were gonna go bye-bye into my mouth :p
THE only two differences in the recipe that I didn’t do/use is a. I didn’t have the vanilla extract sadly :c but I have made cookies without it & they’ve tasted good anyways.. The OTHER thing is.. I should have done like you bang a candy-cane with the rolling pin in a bag.. erm I was like I can do these easy.. HAHA no I ended up putting them into a bowl & using the bottom of a glass coffee cup i ended up powdering more then crushing. :c
I wish there was more peppermint flavor throughout the cookie but cuz mine was more powdered then crushed I suspect that’s why. :3 THOUGH did make my batter a nice shade of pinky red :3
My daughter and I made these tonight – super duper yummy!! Great recipe! These will be added to our family favorites. Thanks so much!

My cookies turned out alright, but there was too much flour. I noticed the dough was very dry but I thought it was a trust-the-process situation. The cookies baked up in cute spheres and were not all that bad. When reading through the notes I read that not spreading is caused by too much flour. I was confused as I followed the recipe EXACTLY as written, using the metric measurements given. In my investigation I took a look at the US measurements…. 1 1/2 cups of flour. That was the moment I found the misstate. That should convert to 180g of flour, yet the recipe asked for 354.88 grams!!!

Candy cane crinkles, yum yum!!!!
These sound so good and easy. I can that!! Lol
But I dont have a mixer could I mix it by hand?
Definitely, you can mix by hand. I’ve never had a mixer but once borrowed from a friend for a year and I know that I can even mix things for 3-5 minutes. Younger people to take turns mixing is great when it’s longer! 🙂 Cookies are the easiest thing to mix by hand.

Yum, Lauren. These cookies are delicious. And I never thought of using the rolling pin to pound the candy canes. Duh. I used to roll the pin over the ziploc bag and it took forever, not to mention the shards of candy would cut the bag and start leaking out. Thanks for a great recipe.
Needs more floor. Only thing I changed from the recipe was I refrigerated the dough and they spread very thin. It didn’t make a full two dozen either.
I popped my candy Canes in the food processor. The cookies were lovely, soft, chewy. We also did a thumb print in the middle and sprinkled the candy cane dust in the middle…..so cute and nice
Wow these cookies are awesome! My leftover candy canes were green and red so they came out super festive! Not everyone in my family likes peppermint though so I also did a batch with crushed up Werthers in them….Double WOW! I have to freeze them so I don’t gain ten pounds before Christmas time 🙂 thanks for the recipe! Will add this to the annual mix!

Okay…these were great! BUT, I have to share this. I was low on butter. So…I used shortening. I know people think I am a crappy baker for this. However, in my defense…I always have shortening and with all the great mint flavor dominating this cookie it was still delicious.
I make a cookie very similar to this, but along with the peppermint I add WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS! It is really, really good!

I am TOTALLY making these!
Do have 1 question what is the purpose of Baking Soda in the cookies?
Totally n000b question but I’ve wondered cause I’ve made cookies without the baking soda before and they turned out fine.
Interesting read…I couldn’t stop reading to know how it ends :). YUMMY cookies…you have a cute little helper!!
Love peppermint! These look so good, and your daughter is a doll!
I’ll take three! Peppermint anything is my weakness.
Oh my! These sound wonderful. Unfortunately, my baking list is set for the rest of the Christmas season, but these will be on my list for next year. How brilliant is a candy cane cookies?
P.S. What a beautiful little girl!!
That story cracked me up! And I can’t wait to make these.
Lauren, or Lauren’s ex’s mom: GENIUS! I am making these! 🙂
these look seriously perfect. love.
Hahah great story and recipe! To cute 😀
Crinkle cookies make me smile. And these are holiday-happy too! 🙂
I LOVE chewy cookies. I’m pretty sure I’m making these tonight. Yummy.
these look so great!! I love that someone’s mom is reading your blog and adapting your recipes…before you even 🙂 That’s pretty cool…I dont think my mom reads my blog and would probably laugh at it. haha!
I saw your donuts on the front page of FG and on Tasty Kitchen..congrats. Now I want these cookies and donuts!
Remind me to tell you sometime about how I dumped your brother-in-law on Christmas Eve. at age 12. We love this story. 😉

With Christmas right around the corner when I saw these, I knew I needed to put them on the list this year! We make so many cookies at Christmas….kind of a tradition. The tradition being gaining an obligatory 5 lbs 😉 We are expecting number 4 (a little boy as well) on Jan. 1st, so the kids and I will be baking away early this year and freezing so we can enjoy baby time when he arrives….and be able to pull out a quick treat when we want! Thank you for all your amazing recipes!
Oh! How perfect. I have a cookie exchange TONIGHT and I was still debating over what to make. This will be it. Yay!! Thanks for solving my DEEE-lema!
Ok – so I made these and I’m ready for my cookie swap tonight, I just have to say,
HOLY-NEW-FAVORITE-COOKIE-BATMAN!!! These are DEE-lish!!! They will be a part of every Christmas from here on out! Thanks to you and your x-boyfriend’s mom 😉 !
