Candy Cane Power Cookies and cough medicine

A few days ago my husband brought home some candy canes. Mind you we do not have little ones at home nor do we have grandkids about. When he handed them to me he said "See what you can do with these". This is my first recipe for them. This one I made up as I went.

O' Candy Cane Cookies

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 egg
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour
3 regular candy canes not the babies but not the large ones. Crushed well.

In a blow cream together butter, sugar, salt, egg, baking powder, and vanilla. mixing well. Add the flour. Mix well and add the crushed candy canes. Bake on a bakers secret cookie sheet (those thing are amazing) in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Mine were 12 exactly. Be careful removing the cookies as the candy cane part can become liquid, if you havent crushed them enough they can become a burn hazard. allow to cool slightly before removing. If you do not have bakers secret I would only leave them in 10 minutes. You can see where the top left and bottom right cookies are liquidy as they came from the oven.

Second recipe and I need more Candy canes!
