It was good fun for a bit but got kinda boring after a little while, I think edible craft is more my thing!<br />

Pass or Fails!<br />
So my candy cane cookies were supposed to look like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPb6Hn-EY5VYmGDKYIqyW-2iR57iESUeEHeVKQK1ZD2xrj4q-Vd2RbVrZW3Uybg3Mn3IXboOQRL3r8PHga_o-FVxMLNOh5FvbVikcCsd9SYT4EmxVoSM93McLraEayaWthd4bbgGPbHbrD/s1600/candy-cane-cookies-recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPb6Hn-EY5VYmGDKYIqyW-2iR57iESUeEHeVKQK1ZD2xrj4q-Vd2RbVrZW3Uybg3Mn3IXboOQRL3r8PHga_o-FVxMLNOh5FvbVikcCsd9SYT4EmxVoSM93McLraEayaWthd4bbgGPbHbrD/s400/candy-cane-cookies-recipe.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And this is how they turned out: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPKkkWAxvtVXR5MEb4u6bal7Cv269udfJ_y7cSQU6wcCxFvC3lQvrte-W1YjXxEbOUVa1N2XAz7iBLQszHaD-XVTDvgPZt_bx2AuStCVfcv-5lR0xnXLq7iKWgokV-be3JD-ghdYjaNkL/s1600/P1010049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPKkkWAxvtVXR5MEb4u6bal7Cv269udfJ_y7cSQU6wcCxFvC3lQvrte-W1YjXxEbOUVa1N2XAz7iBLQszHaD-XVTDvgPZt_bx2AuStCVfcv-5lR0xnXLq7iKWgokV-be3JD-ghdYjaNkL/s400/P1010049.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was much to humid the day I made them and the dough was way too soft even after an hour in the fridge. These are the only ones that really stayed together at all, I gave up after about 7 fails. I think that if I did them again I cold get them right, I just need to make them when it is a bit cooler, and not let them over cook! They were quite yummy though! Very crumbly, sort of like a shortbread but not buttery. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you want to give them a shot; <a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/CandyCaneCookie.html">check them out here! </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I made these one day with my little sister, we had an absolute ball and they tasted great to boot!<br />
I used a great guide from <a href="http://www.mommyknows.com/birthday-party-candy-sushi/">Mommy Knows</a> to make them. Definitely at the top of my list of cool projects! I plan to make them again but I want to find an alternative to the rollups because it seems Australian rollups aren't wide enough.<br />

They loved them! I saw them at a school fair once an figured I had to try them!<br />
If I did them again, I would probably use royal icing instead of just normal icing because it might set a bit stiffer and make a more realistic "blanket". Granted these were for a bunch of 5 year olds so I think normal icing was best.<br />
