The name of this makes me giggle, however when ever I see almond and vanilla in a cookie I am reminded of the classic Italian cookies made for that very holiday.
The cute red and white canes will set the mood six months from now.

Oh, I know! My Better Homes & Gardens Christmas From the Heart Book came today, along with a bonus Christmas cookie book, and I'm ready to go bake Christmas cookies and make Christmas crafts! Then I step outside in the heat and realize, no, it's still June! We can look forward, can't we?!
