I made these cookies for the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. This was my first time participating and it was so much fun! I loved getting cookies from other wonderful food bloggers! YUM!
One of my all-time favorite Christmas cookies are Peppermint Joe-Joe’s from Trader Joe’s. We make a special trip over to Atlanta after Thanksgiving just to load up on Peppermint Joe-Joes. They are SOOO good! These cookies reminded me a lot of Peppermint Joe Joe’s. The best part is that these cookies are super easy to make! They don’t even require an oven!
Let me give you a tip for easily crushing candy canes. Unwrap a box of candy canes, throw them in your food processor and let them go for about 15-20 seconds. You will have finely crushed candy canes for less than a dollar! A word of caution, don’t open the lid to the food processor immediately. Give it a minute for all the candy cane dust to settle. Otherwise you will be smelling candy canes for days! 🙂

Stupid question…will someone comment with a brand name example of "vanilla sugar wafer" cookies? Thanks!!
I used Voortman. Keebler makes some, Bud's Best makes them. If you google "vanilla sugar wafer cookies" you will get more examples.
