Candy Cane Sprinkled Sugar Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Cream together the margarine and icing sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add the vanilla and milk and mix until smooth. Finally add the flour 1 cup at a time and mix until combined. Roll the dough into teaspoon-sized balls, place on the cookie sheet and flatten down slightly with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle the crushed candy cane pieces on top and press them down slightly into the cookie so that they stay. Repeat to make 24 cookies. Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully to make sure that they do not brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
