    On floured surface, roll dough until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 3- to 3 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Place cutouts 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.

    Bake 5 minutes. Meanwhile, break off top of each candy cane to create loop for hanging cookies.
  • 4
    Remove cookies from oven; press 1 candy piece on top of each cookie to make a loop. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until edges are set. Cool on cookie sheets 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Expert Tips

  • To evenly break candy canes, cut with scissors while still in the wrapper, then unwrap and use.
  • No parchment paper? Just use nonstick foil.
  • The 1/8-inch rolled thickness is important for the candy holder to stay connected.
