Holiday Baking Traditions

Candy Cane Cookies Compliments of Lynne Fisher


This is an old "Naifeh-Fisher" tradition. When Judson was growing up, Lynne made these cookies for all of her dearest friends and their children. This is one of his fondest childhood memories! If you had three children in your family, you would get 5 cookies delivered to your house. Not 3 not 6...but "5". I remember when Oney was born, (I think this was the last year she delivered cookies), she brought us 4 cookies! Judson called Lynne and harassed the heck out of her...where was our fifth cookie?!?! She had cheated us! I realized then the importance of the Christmas Peppermint Candy Cane Cookie!


So now we bake these as a family every Christmas! They are so delicious..the almond flavoring is the best! It has now become a "Naifeh Family Tardition"! I hope we can pass it on to all of my kids children! A family that bakes together-stays together!


Out taste tester...It seems like Judson always has to make a delivery to Munford each year when we are in the middle of baking our Christmas goodies! He LOVES licking the beaters!


THANKS Lynne for sharing your recipe with us! We always say that we should make hearts for Valentine's Day! I think its best to keep it special for Christmas.
