How to make candy cane cookies:

Heat oven to slow (325°). Beat butter and vanilla until creamy. Add sugar gradually. Beat until fluffy. Add water. Sift together flour and salt. Add to butter mixture, mixing thoroughly. Stir in oats until blended. (Dough will be quite stiff.) Shape into candy canes. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated 325° oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool. Frost canes with thin white confectioners sugar frosting. Stripe with thick red frosting. Makes 24 canes.

Thin White Frosting: Mix 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar, 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. I use the tube of red frosting you buy for the stripes.
