Peppermint Snowballs

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/4 cup candy cane, crushed
• 12 -15 drops red food coloring
• icing sugar, for rolling

1. Heat oven to 400u0b0F
2. In large bowl, with mixer on high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. Beat in vanilla and salt. Reduce mixer speed to low, and beat in flour (dough will be very dry). Beat in oats, crushed candy canes, and 12-15 drops of red food coloring. Shape heaping teaspoons of dough into balls, place on ungreased baking sheets 1/2 inch apart, and bake 15 to 18 minutes per batch.
4. Place icing sugar in large bowl. Roll hot cookies in sugar, let cool completely, and repeat.
