Peppermint Holliday Cookies

1 cup softened butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes
3/4 cup powdered sugar
5 teaspoons warm water
2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candy canes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the egg into the butter mixture until completely incorporated. Mix the flour and salt into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Fold the 1/2 cup crushed candy canes into batter, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Roll the dough into balls 1 tablespoon at a time and arrange on baking sheets. Bake until firm, about 8-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk the powdered sugar and warm water together in a small bowl until you have a smooth icing. Dip the top of each cookies into the icing, then sprinkle with the remaining crushed candy cane. Set aside to let the icing dry for at least 5 minutes. Makes 36 servings.  -Riley
