Candy cookies

Growing up, my favourite cookies were my Mom's chocolate chip cookies, and a 'ju-jube' cookie that both my Mom and my friend Melinda's Mom made. Yesterday my Mom made the ju-jube cookies with my daughter. She uses baking ju-jubes and cuts each candy into 4 pieces before adding it to the dough. The cookies are beautiful, freckled with a rainbow of primary colours, and kids absolutely love them. My mom does hers in an oatmeal batter, but the candies could be added to any standard cookie recipe.

...there are no photos of the finished product as they got eaten too fast! I was going to take some to Melinda's house today, but alas, the cookies disappeared faster than free money!
