A shortcut to the cookies that my mother made when I was a child. Enjoy!

Ingredients
2 pkg. Nestle' sugar cookies
Red food coloring
Peppermint flavoring



Recipe








Steps
Thaw 1 pkg. of cookies for about 25 minutes at room temp. Preheat oven according to pkg. directions and prepare baking pan. Remove 2nd pkg. of dough from fridge and place in a different mixing bowl.
Take 1st pkg. of thawed cookie dough and place in a large mixing bowl. Add red food coloring, a few drops at a time, and mix into dough until desired color is reached (the color of candy canes). Add about 1-2 teaspoons of peppermint flavoring and mix well.
To form candy canes: take a small ball from each bowl and roll between hands to make a "rope". Entwine ropes together and then shape into a candy cane.
Bake according to directions on pkg.
