Christmas Candy Cane Crispers

I have not tried these yet but hope to.  I will probably use the fruit candy canes instead of peppermint ones.  Think I might actually put some crushed ones into the dough and not just on top.

1 cup butter at room temperature
1 1/4 cups powder sugar plus additional for coating
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coarsely crushed candy canes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease and lightly flour a baking sheet.  In a large bowl beat butter, powder sugar, and vanilla.  In another bowl stir together flour, rolled oats and salt then blend with creamed mixture.  Roll dough into 3/4" balls and then roll in powder sugar.  Place 2" apart on baking sheet and flatten with a fork making crisscross pattern.  Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon crushed candy canes.  Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes transfer to wire racks to cool completely. 
Makes about 4 dozen
