Directions

Step one
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Unwrap candy canes and place in a zip top bag. Seal the bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to crush candy canes until fine. You should have about 3 tablespoons.
-
Step two
Pour crushed candy canes into large bowl. Stir in cookie mix, butter, and egg until well blended. *If your dough seems a little dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until dough is smooth. Divide dough evenly into 12 portions, about 1-1/2 tablespoons each. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet. Use your palm to flatten dough into 1-1/2-inch circles. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.

Step three
Remove cookies from oven and use a spoon to create a dimple in the center of each cookie about an inch wide. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
-
Step four
Cut a small hole in the corner of the frosting pouch. Fill the center of each cookie with frosting and decorate with sprinkles. Enjoy!
