    CHRISTMAS: Candy Cane Cookies

    Source of Recipe

    World Wide Recipes

    List of Ingredients

    1/2 lb butter
    1 cup sifted powdered sugar
    1 egg
    1 tsp almond extract
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    2 1/2 cups flour
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp red food coloring
    1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies mixed with 1/2 cup sugar

    Recipe

    Mix together the butter, confectioner's sugar, egg, almond, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Stir in the flour and salt. Divide the dough in half and blend the food coloring into one half. Using about 1 teaspoon of each dough, roll out two cylinders about 4 inches long. Place them side by side and gently press them together. Twist them to form a candy cane pattern with the red and white doughs, and curve one end to form a candy cane shape. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375F oven for about 9 minutes, until lightly browned. Sprinkle with the peppermint candy mixture and cool cookies on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
